    but I think it's more about OCD than anything else. nice music and calm talking make it nice to watch.
    Maybe, but there were a few new things in there for me.

    I do think making a new eccentric for the mouth adjustment was the OCD clencher, but still fun.

    After watching the video I had to check my Stanley 9 1/2 with a square and straight edge and found it to be pretty much on. Not 100 % but certainly not as bad as the block plane he worked on. The work with files and a scraper was interesting though, something I will store away for future use if needed. The video gave me some ideas for correcting a too large mouth opening on a Stanley knuckle joint 65. Either the movable shoe was replaced or it was shortened during the flattening of the sole. Even if I obtain a replacement shoe it will need metal removed to make it line up with the sole of the plane.
