How cambered is the blade exactly? The computer graphic makes it seem exagerrated, but isn't the camber in reality only near the edges? Isn't 90% of the blade perfectly flat with only 5% on each side being cambered (roughly)?
Hi and thanks for the great video, I was searching for intel about edge trimming planes and stumble upon your "Planing a straight edge" (also great thanks !) I though Edge trimming planes were faster for squaring & straightening edges but I'm not so sure anymore : Do you think they are "gimmicky" or do you find a place for them in your furniture making please ? (also the possibility to add an angled fence to the edge trimming plane is a little plus). Thank you for your lessons Cheers from France
Finally a true artisan with craftsmanship of a master. His wisdom surpasses any I have seen in 30 yrs.I only wish I could be under his tutelage for a single day. Thank you very much for what you do.
Thank you so much for this David. Your video is much appreciated, and I plan on getting the DVD shortly. In the meantime, what radius for the camber is used for this? Cheers.
Not so fast, @@geezerdownunder . David is very much thriving and ready to come at you with his unmatched expertise and ultra smooth delivery. Check before you assert. This is the Internet, after all; we can't afford mistaken information, can we? Regarding the age of the material, is it any less trenchant today?
Difficult to define camber. When offered up to a straight bit of dark plastic, the light showing under each corner, of a 2 3/8" blade is about 0.2 to 0.3 mm. Best wishes, David
Sound technique does not change much over time. I think if you were to inspect the hair colour, it is evident that time has passed! David@@geezerdownunder
Lol yeah the demonstrations appear on wood that is already just fine. The same techniques work at bigger scale for boards way off so would be better to demonstrate on rough timber here so you can actually see the difference.
Beautiful teaching, including the perspective at the end about chasing errors. And perfectly timely for me. Thank you.
THIS is the way to do it... perfectly explained, perfectly demonstrated.
David, this is extraordinary: woodworking taken to a superior level.
Thank you very much.
Very much great information. Fantastic video. Thank you!
Thanks David, another very interesting video!
Every day’s a school day! - Got me subbed! Thank you.
Great video! always great to hear your experience in the field. learning so much.
Wonderful as usual. I was actually battling this more than was necessary.

Gilou, I have never had one of those edge planes so cannot comment.

Jerry Bowers sign up for one of David’s one-week courses.
@@b1j Would sure be nice to do so, but he's half a world away from me.
Jerry Bowers I live in California. I attended David’s course this past January. The experience was well worth the plane ticket.
Have you any new videos coming out. I'm having David Charlesworth withdrawals.
Thank you for all your information, it’s greatly appreciate.
Thank you very much
what blade radius is used for camber for this kind of edge work please ?
Incredible

David Charlesworth thank you very much for your answer! Hope you have a good day, and look forward to as always learning more.

Easter Egg!. He reused some footage at 2:11 of a different plane!
Are you recommending that all your planes blades be cambered to some degree?
Paul,
Yes most of my bench planes but there are some obvious exceptions, such as rebate and shoulder planes, and the 140.
Best wishes,
David
There is more to it than hacking away with a plan
My block is set up with cant not camber for the same reason.
Is the DVD available? Maybe it has a different name but I did not find it for sale. Impressive technique.
Jim,
It is part of my "Precision Planing" DVD.
Available from my website www.davidcharlesworth.co.uk or www.lie-nielsen.com
Best wishes,
David

Then it rains in the afternoon, humidity rises, the board cups ever so slightly and hey presto it's no longer micrometer square.

am i the only one that is confused by this?
