Wood shavings porn

Interesting sharpening video attached as a follow up to that planing video. Two stones, burnish the edge on the second one when it dries out, a good way for people with stones that aren't as fine as they'd like to squeak out an extra level of sharpness.

Thanks for posting the video. I found it to be completely fantastic and real. Obviously this person knows his craft and is a master at it. That kind of quest for perfection is beyond me but highly admirable.

After finding his blog, I read through several pages of it and this guy is obsessed with tuning his planes to make super thin shavings, seems like good days he's able to make 4 to 5 micron shavings. Apparently that would have been contest winning shaving a couple of years ago, but the current winner is at 3 micron (so I gather).

Interestingly, he has large number of woodworking projects that are quite complex. Not sure how he does all that woodworking, plane tuning on top of having a pretty busy career. Must be highly motivated and dedicated individual.

This is also a fun plane video.

That was great, Jacob!

It reminds me a bit of what it felt like to use Konrad Sauer's panel plane at a LN event.

I get find results with my fettled old junkers, but part of me drools over those nice handmade panel planes.

Reminds me of a snakeskin almost.
