So after seeing you driveway AND going up it in a 35' RV, does brown drive up your drive or walk, or honk their horn for you to come and fetch your goodies
Looks great, but for me, you need a stone between your 220 and 1000, a 400 would save a LOT of work on your 1000 getting the 220 scratches out
Great now would you share the cha-ching & where you purchased them? Are these used with water or oil.
Brent, I've been looking at those. Would you share how you like them after a bit of use?
These are the thinner Shaptons on glass, right?
Don't worry about it, but expect to replace the 220, 400 and 1000 down the road, as you bring all of your tools up to being really sharp, these three will be the ones that will get the most work, your 4000,8000, and 16,000 will not get heavy work and should last a very long time (don't drop one )
OK, I'll show my ignorance about sharpening. Whats in the tube
I believe it is the 1 micron diamond paste.
But I could be wrong...
But I did turn about an inch and a half of a poplar board into shavings on the floor...
Whether I'm using a wooden plane, or a metal one, I'm able to either take thin shavings, or full width shavings. Just can't quite seem to get to the point where I'm taking a full width, thin, even shaving...QUOTE]
Brent, have you noticed that there is a lever behind the blade on metal planes that controls the parallelism of the blade edge VS the body?
Sorry Brent, I was just picking on you.
Seriously, taking a full width thin even shaving will not happen until the whole length of the board is completely flat. Moreover, sometimes whe can't get them because we do not put the plane flat against the board and it takes more on one side than from the other. That provided that the blade is portruding evenly from the sole.
