    A lot of reading the shaving depends on having a flat board to start with. That is why I will some times start with a board that has been through my drum sander. That way I know the board of pretty flat to begin with.

    I have been using my great-grandfather's old Stanley no. 4-1/2 with a new blade as my primary plane until I have saved up for a new no. 5-1/2. I'm a history nut and I love using his old plane as a way of remembering the past. I have thought that I would by all my planes but I have been struggling with getting my 4-1/2 blade to be parallel to the sole. That one issue is pushing me towards a new plane. Would love a Lie Nielsen but that's a lot of $$ for a novice hobbyist. I'm waiting for Woodcraft to gave a sale on the Wood River 5-1/2 and will probably pull the trigger when that happens. 😊. Love the channel and your work with veterans!

    Nice video, thans. Some addendum to sanding: most of my finishing material what I use requires sanding anyway so usually I don't care much about smaller tracks if it's not a glue surface. (But if it's a bigger surface glue instead of an edge glue I like to sand it a bit for better glue penetration too.).

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  10 місяців тому

      I do not use finishes that change the natural look of the wood so I always use a planned perfect surface

    • @saxus
      @saxus 10 місяців тому

      @@RobCosmanWoodworking Usually I do the same. I mean, yeah, all finishing material change somehow the wood, but I use shellac for instruments, and linseed oil based products in most other cases except if the wood doesn't like that or gives ugly surface - like I've got two logs of blued linden*. Or the use of the product requires some kind of laquer. But basically all of those requires sanding. Usually the technical description contains exact instructions how to do it for the best result.
      *not sure the exact spicies, most likely Tilia cordata or Tilia platyphyllos.

    Hi Rob. Great video! Question... Try as I have I can't seem to get a great result freehand sharpening my plane blades. I've watched hundreds of hours on end of your videos. On a side note I've Bought many products from you by the way and love them all. Looking forward to a shooting board next. Anyhow, I've had most success just using a veritas jig for sharpening. My question is will putting pressure on one corner while on the jig once I get to my Shapton 16000, for a few seconds on each side essentially produce the same result of a slight camber? I'm getting pretty good with my planing through lots of practice but still struggle with plane tracks. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  • @osu122975
    @osu122975 9 місяців тому

    I like the "depth gauge". The only problem I see with making the blade parallel with that approach is the width of the wood. The wood must be perfectly flat or you're gonna get false readings from your shavings. At least it seems that way to me lol.

  • @roman_le
    @roman_le 10 місяців тому +2

    Thank you for the great video Rob!
    However, advancing the blade on the wide surface doesn't look like a good idea, because surface can have imperfection which will bias your settings.
    Way better is using a side of a thin board to check shaving thickness at the right an left sides of your blade.

    On a new plane blade, do you feather the corners on the 1000 grit stone or just on the 16000?

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  10 місяців тому +2

      The feathering is only ever applied on the 16,000 grit stone. It is always removed on the 1,000 and then reapplied on the 16,000.

      @@RobCosmanWoodworking Yeah. This is why I'm very reluctant to buy jointer or such, might as well learn to it by hand first, then MAYBE later the jointer. But the cons of machines: expensive (if you want quality), uses a lot electricity, takes nice amount of space from your workshop, the dust oh dear god the dust, the noice (I hate loud noices, even with good ear protection).
      So far I'm sticking to hand tools and learning & slowly mastering them, BIG thanks to YOU, Paul Sellers and some others. I would have quit trying long time ago if I hadn't found your channel.

    I dont think people realize how much faster planing is than sanding. People tell me all the time they quit woodworking becuase they hate the hours of sanding. They think doing anything by hand must be too old school and out of date. Once you learn how to sharpen and use hand planes properly life is great. No dust and noisey sanders!
