    Very helpful as always. Rob I’d love for you to do a video on adjusting the plane for use. I find that the nut that advances and retracts the blade also tends to skew it side to side, which makes the shaving uneven across its width.

    Run blade down your fingernail and if it shears off your fingernail it’s ready,what I do

    Thanks as always for sharing your expertise Rob. I have an old wooden bodied skew plane which I will need to sharpen soon.
