This saved me! I struggled getting my joints square with my #62 and a straight blade. The resulting surface would always lean one way. I got a new #5 yesterday and cambered the blade because I recalled your explanation in this video. So much easier to square! I think what works for me now is #62 for initial jointing, #5 to make corrections to square, then #62 again for final light passes.
