Great video – thanks for posting it…nice to see you lurking around here!

I didn’t realize how small “baby” was until I saw it in your hands…a sweet little block plane.

Wow. You make it look so easy and simple.

If your plane is well set-up then it is!
The biggest problems are a wedge that doesn’t fit correctly and hitting the wedge in too hard. It is surprising how little pressure is required to hold it firmly.
Cheers

I wish I would have seen this video thirty five years ago. Very informative and that plane made some super shavings. Looks like your finger got in the way of a hammer or something. The finger nail looks bruised. I hope it heals soon.

Congratulations on taking the plunge Phil. I wish you much success in your new endeavor.

Glad you like my guitar track. I call it “Cowboy Song” :)
Os, I bruised my finger carrying my sliding compound mitre saw. I forgot to lock the slide off and the saw slid back and squashed me!! And yes, I certainly did some serious cursing….....;)
Thanks Bill!
Cheers

Looks like this video is popular. I saw a link to it on the FWW home page.
