In the course of rehabbing a very stubborn Fulton #3 ( nee Sargent 408) I maybe have ground the wrong bevel. Was having trouble, getting a nice square to the sides, edge. Turned on the grinder and had a tub of water handy.....Forgot to recheck the angle set on the tool rest. Turned out to be....~ 35 degrees....
Oil stones and 1.5K wet&dry paper. Back was flat and mirror bright. Got the chipbreaker to FINALLY sit there without a gap....yep, miracles do happen.
Set the chipbreaker back from the edge about~1mm or so. Set up a White oak test track...

Hmmm, got the grain running the wrong way....oh well, try to plane it anyway..

White Oak shavings seem to always look like ribbons to me. That test track above? Photo was taken after a few test runs of the plane. Zero chatter, zero tear out
So, things I might have done wrong? Bevel angle @ 35 degrees, did not use a ruler trick ( no ruler on hand) did not strop the edge. And..plane against the grain.
Did I goof?
