Awesome, great job, like Will said, if I could make such handles I would be hunting more for fleabay stuff and less for LN/Wenzloff.
How is the feel, weight of the Osage Orange?

A ramped shooting board does not equate to a skewed blade.
The advantages of a ramped shooting board I see are:
The blade starts cutting at a point (a corner of the endgrain) which helps with...
Not sure why this is happening, only thing I can ask is, you are tightening the cap iron with the thumb screw (towards top) and not the regular screw (which needs screwdriver) correct?. The screw...
Curt, I have the LV Shooting plane, sadly when I get home tonight I won't be able to look at it the same way.
In any case, I don't have a shooting board with track, and I've been contemplating...
I have not built a shooting board with track for my Lee Valley shooting plane. Even without a track I sometimes use this, but most often I use a 5-1/2 Stanley and often my LN 62, honestly sometimes...
I find him quite entertaining, I do try to follow him. On which video is this half blind dovetail approach?
As far as Paul Sellers, I don't find him ego-tripping at all, perhaps it is an accent...
The screw on the tote tells me the same.

I don't lend money I am not willing to give away. Similarly with tools, with a few exceptions where I will talk about how much the tool means to me the other party feels like they are in a binding...
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Awesome story, thanks for sharing.
Smell I think is our most primitive sense, and I read that it is the one that best triggers memories (knowingly or not), much...
Not having done one, I will offer what my mind thought. All this is in theoretical form and in real life it may not matter at all with such a gentle taper (I suspect).
Once assembled, if...
Yup, twisted on either side.
Thanks, good advice about the softer side.
that was my initial thought.
I just received a tapered iron which was advertised as unused old stock.
I purchased from a well known merchant off the bay, he has been recommended by David W before and I think several here have...
I am not sure I understand what you describe, the only wood pieces on Stanley bench planes are the tote and knob (handle and front knob). A picture would be very helpful.

If you google moravian workbench you'll get hits
It is by Will Myers and you can buy a DVD, I am watching it on the Pop Woodworking site (subscription), perhaps there are other alternatives.

Well, I have been asking around, I think it can be done if proper care is taken, at least give a good 5 year service, which may be okay given sometimes we want to change benches anyway. I think it...
Thanks to all for the kind words.
@Kees, agree. It sort of is, but at this point in my life it will have to be outside, covered. I am watching (the very long) Morovian Bench build vid. The bench...
I am posting this as a way to inspire other beginners like me, I see too many posts about how many tools, how big a workbench? Which vises and all our (and I include myself) obsession with having the...
I have not done the maths on the angled iron, but you are absolutely correct, I should have clarified that, the projections I provided are the height of the arc as measured on the blade, for depth of...
about a 16th
0.06275 to be exact according to the math. This is an 8" radius on a 2" wide iron.
@Steve, according to the math, 5 thou projection (i.e. 0.005") is equivalent to about 141"...
This was unclear to me (not the instruction, but the results of the execution, i.e. I noticed movement on both instances).
However I tried another trick.

For gluing panels, I prefer to gang up two boards, for edge boards I'm not sure I need it to be at 90.00000 degrees. If it is a table edge, who cares if it is 90 point something? the edges will be...
If I am jointing an edge to glue a panel, then I joint them ganged up in pairs, that way the angle does not matter as the angles will be supplementary (add to 180), yet I still want to keep it close...
Bump, update and new issue
LN is a world class company and they will make sure your issue is addressed.
In addition to my issue with the LN chipbreaker, which had no work around, I...
Thanks to all that replied, Derek thank you specially for taking the time to post the pictures here. I found your article because Marko mentioned it. I should have posted that I read all your review...
With the relatively recent rediscovery of the cap iron effects on reducing tearout, and the craze around that as the main contributor... allegedly ahead of mouth tightness and cutting angle.
