Derek Cohen Article on Knobs and Totes

THANKS for posting this glenn,, i have missed hearing from derek,, that was very informational and opened my mind to better use of the iron tools:) so just from curiosity is this how you go to it with your planes? and to see that one cut from pulling with rope is something i have a hard time getting a grip on
 
so just from curiosity is this how you go to it with your planes?

It is. There are as many techniques as there are woodworkers. I had carried the belief that I should lower my current bench or make another for hand tool work based on so much info about hand tool bench height. In practice however, it has never bothered me so it was good to see Derek explain why I was feeling comfortable :crazy:. There have been plenty of times that I have seen someone do something and had that "ah-ha" moment, changed my approach and done better. There are other times when I find I am doing it just right . . ., for me :).
