Thanks to the team at Fine Woodworking for this excellent series on handplanes. Ironically, much of the information presented was not new to me, but rather a review of principles and techniques I have already learned. Where did I learn them? Mainly through articles and videos from Fine Woodworking. Kudos to the FW team for putting all this information and education together in a polished, entertaining series of videos. Please keep them coming.
Mike, Great series! Can you demonstrate how to adjust the frog on the #4?
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "application". The video is playing fine for me. Maybe it was a temporary server error.
Mike, thank you for an excellent review of the various planes. I really appreciate your "a matter of fact approach". I've been watching you for years and have not submitted a comment. You deserve more.
Thank you Mike for a great, informative series. I've learned a lot of nuances and new stuff, even though I've been using hand planes for a while.
The video will not play. What is the application, please?
Terrific series, Mike! Really helpful. Looking forward to the next installment. Keep up the great work, and thank you.
