Recently there was a thread on adding a small crown to a smoothers blade. The idea being to minamize the ridges that form when a board is planned.
My question is..
How does one make this crowned blade ?
I have tried freehand sharping but just cant get the hang of keeping the bevel flat. Now use the Vertias roller w/Norton waterstones. Would adding a small amount of pressue to the outside edges of the blade during the final sharping phase give the required crown ??
Thanks
