Thanks Mike. Just really getting into using planes (other than the block plane) so timing is perfect. Always love your videos, they are always thoughtful and meticulous.
A whole lot more detail on actually how to set up the plane to do the work would be useful. The blade magically goes from the sharpening stone to the plane and starts making shavings. I was hoping for more detail on how set up the plane.
Thanks Mike. Learned a lot from your videos and will keep them as a resource. I agree if you could spend a little time showing us how to put the blades back in and adjust them.
A terrific series. You are an articulate and careful instructor with much to offer to other craftsmen.
Great series. These are very helpful Mike. It has really made a difference for me. Thanks.
There seems to be no way to play these on my iPhone.
What version iOS? They play fine here.
