    There are so many hand tools I want to buy and try.  I don't want to try the cheap ones for fear that it might lead to a bad experience and I pass on a tool that would give me a lot of enjoyment.  Mos

  • @derekcohen  Thanks for a good explanation, very helpful.  And I agree sometimes the topic of sharpening can get like a sawstop one, dark and ugly very quickly.  I usually avoid commenting on such top

Gunny, are you feeling the interest in getting into more handwork work planes?

I will give you a tip on how i wound up with 28 planes. Watch flea markets and garage sales. Yes I have 2 Lee Valley I bought new and a Stanley bull nose and pocket plane. The rest from the 2 #3 up to the #8 and 2 78 were antique carousing .

Trying to expand my skillset.  Power tools are nice but time an again knowing how to use a handplane and having one would have been helpful.  Now that I have been shown how to use them and not aggravate the pins in my wrist I have been using them when called for.  The block plane I won at Christmas got sharpened and used on my cabinet door project, makes a nice chamfer..  A Craftsman my Father gave me I sharpened and practiced on some turning blanks.  Got a decent feel for right and wrong way.  Bought a spokeshave (cheap one) and used it for the handles on two wooden screwdrivers.  That was an experience.  :ChinScratch:
