I finally got around to buying David Finck's book, Making and Mastering Wood Planes, have to say, this is one of the better books on neander type woodworking, wish I'd bought this several years ago, definitely would have saved me some money, along with teaching me some valuable skills. So, I realize many, if not most of you probably have already read this, but I've always been a bit slow on the uptake. If you don't own it, buy it.
