One of the things about your videos that I enjoy is your fastidiousness with regard to your tools and your craft. Back in the days of my misspent youth I was always taught to never lay the plane down on its sole, but rather on its side so that the edge was never in jeopardy of becoming damaged. Was that more myth than fact? I notice that as I watch various videos on woodworking (getting started in my 60's) more and more woodworkers do, in fact, lay their planes on the soles.
Neither practice is "wrong" but rather personal habit or preference...we push the iron through wood all day and then reason that setting the iron on wood damages it? I think not.
Gary Knight I'm pretty sure that's why he made this video sharing with us... Lol just giving you a hard time, please don't take this the wrong way, God bless you, I am a fairly new wood worker myself, around a year, so keep up the learning from the best!
simple practical instruction every time. it's time well spent
A sad loss RIP David
I do hope this is a recent video and evidence that you are feeling well and back to reasonable health. All the best David!
Thank you Stephen. I think you can tell that I am enjoying my short courses.
Best wishes,
David
Always enjoy your videos I learn so much in such a short amount of time.

Ross Hollinger notice the small wood chip at 1:15. David places the front of the sole on it to elevate it and thus protect the iron.

that was a truly helpful video. Thank you kindly sir. its amazing how much reach your experience has in the education of others.
Nice calm, precise video as usual, David. Now please tell me that you still use that old dial wheel phone...
Thank you. Sure do!
Hope you don't mind if I use your improved face side mark! Still learning the basics and really appreciate this sort of video.

Please do, I find it very useful!
David Charlesworth Thank you.
Do you use winding sticks to determine if your face surface is winded?
Yes, winding sticks are used to check the face side for wind or twist.
Very useful tools!
David
