I guess you could call this "A COVER" of a song I just heard.
I changed it around a little.
If I get rich I will send you royalties.
And a one a and a two a and a . . .
steeper pitch trumps most other factors INCLUDING SHARPNESS in really difficult grain.
Fiddle is fun except with bevel downs with too many parts (chip breaker).
ALWAYS a perfectly hand planed surface
if your goal is to actually build something
but sometimes you gotta . . .
Bevel Up.
Go the way shortest way possible to get a quality result. (Okaaa that was kind of a Satchmo thing right ? "It's not whatchasay . . . itshowcha say it").
? . . . a bevel down plane, and a cabinet scraper, and (or) a card scraper, and sand paper and hold your tung just right . . . ?
or
ONE plane with a ever so slightly steeper secondary beveled blade.
SLAP it in the plane (no just right diddle fiddle) and set what ever depth you want (your strength and your bench are the limits)
aaaaaaaannnnnnnnd
DONE.
Which is the more simple ?
, plane as best you can and then break out a properly sharpened . . .
Bevel up blade.
hit the problem areas (well the whole surface EVENLY actually unless you want a hollow in the surface).
? and move on ?
Nah dude YOU'RE DONE !
Time for the photo session and to call the magazines. ! ! ! !
You have just done what only "THE FEW", "THE STRONG", "THE BRAVE",
the expert sharpener . . .
?
Oh wait . . .
you have done what any blighter with a sharpening jig and a moderately priced (actually quite inexpensively priced ) bevel up hand plane can do.
I like a straight from the plane surface.
guy, go the way shortest way possible to get a quality result.
BU.
How's tha sound ?
Catchy ?
