Can't begin to describe the fun I'm having figuring out this spin stuff
First thanks to you all for the comments/help on sharpening with a belt sander...
I slapped together a jig for guidance, designed from the variety found on u-tube, sure helps steady these old hands{lol}
Here's where I'm learning{albeit slowly} not sure if this will remain the set up, but it will do for now...
Today I decided to lose the plastic handles on a Stanley plane and made some from some maple I had laying around. Here's a shot of the front handle, it's not much, but I'm happy as a noob can be...
And as par for the course, I had more trouble centering the bolt hole than the turning, guess the trick is to drill before spinning oh yeah, and add jointing before gluing up...glue lines. Grrr....
Anyways....just a little update on my journey
Signed: free floating in the vortex, "look at all the purty colors"
