Great episode – it’s always a treat to watch somebody drilling through a plane body!

Thanks.

Good work on all the episodes! You’ve earned it indeed! I’ve been watching em, just haven’t always commented.
I’ve got an old craftsman rabbet plane that I kinda hate. I sure wish drilling some new holes in it would make it cut as nice as your jackrabbet plane do!

BTW, when are you gonna introduce us to your slacker shop help?

Thanks, Salvage. My shop “slackers” are whatever friends or family happens to be helping out on any particular day. And they refuse to be on film! They seem to think it makes you look dumb… don’t know where they get that idea…
