I discovered Krenov back in the late 70. One of his books came to me that is still sitting on my shelf. That book had a profound effect on me particularly in how to sharpen my chisels and plane irons. But not the least of which was respecting my own aesthetics. In the age that I am now I still look to Krenov for emotional guidance. Until reading that book I didn’t realize that someone could think about their work so clearly and with as much passion as you do as well. Thanks for this series and the history it brings back to me.
So satisfying watching these. I’ve made me love woodworking without power tools. I had a Hand plane fetish for a decade. Because of you, Christopher, Rob, Paul, Peter and Roy. Thank you for your dedication to the craft.
Great series, thanks! One question about the screw-slot: although the iron will wear, the chip breaker will not. Since the screw is attached to the chip breaker, this means the position of the screw and screw slot are determined by the position of the chip breaker, not by the iron. If this is the case, wear of the iron does not matter for the length of the slot, or am I being stupid?
Thanks! It's turning out to be a very nice plane. Are you using leather for the inside face of your vise's jaw? I've used wooden chops in the past but leather seems to be a bit easier and since my vise is smaller it will give me more room to work if leather is suitable.
I’m wondering if it said 15 degrees related to just previously mentioning 45 deg … so 15 deg away from 45 gets you to 60. Also, I’ve not seen that holdfast/hold down before with the clamping type arm on top. Who makes that one ?
It has been a very very long time. I have been following you for 12 years and it is nice to see you making videos again.
This was very informative. I wish I could saw as consistent as you following a line.
Thanks... a result of many ( MANY ) hours of practice-; )

So glad to see you again brother. 👍 That Birdseye is absolutely stunning.
Thanks brother!
Nice to see you, Great Hat :)

Excellent point...you're absolutely correct. Thanks!
Espectacular
Gracias !

Thanks. Yeah, leather in this case...some of my benches have/had cork. The leather seems to hold up better. Cheers~
Tom, why did you choose the chisel to create the screw slot versus a router plane?
Thanks. A marvelous video. :)
Thanks! Great question....you could use a Router plane but I prefer a chisel for end grain work; I feel like I have more control of the tool.
Отлично.

good point. Perhaps that's it. As for the hold down, it's made by Veritas/Lee Valley. It's a cam action and I quite like it.
Hey Tom, why such a large plane on small scale work? I’d have chosen a #3 smoother but I’m a neophyte…
Thanks-; ) personal preference...the 5 1/2 is my go-to so it's usually one of the first ones I grab.
