Been having trouble with it, anyway...since I'm waiting around to start a new project, I thought I'd try again.....:ChinScratch:

Was having trouble even with pine...tended to ball up...and stop cutting...unless I cranked the depth really deep..:ArguingSmileys:

What I found when I removed the iron...hmmm...checked the iron's back for flat.....it wasn't..:ArguingSmileys:.flattened the back. :TwoThumbsUp:  Bevel was sharpened back to a single 25 degree bevel..for now...then..

First the white wheel, then the yellow wheel to polish the bevel ( hold the iron bevel up, with the iron pointing down...and withstood a blizzard of white strings:MachineGun: ( white wheel wasn't "broken in, yet")

Cleaned things up...then a the fiddling, fidgetting, fettling...:ArguingSmileys:.make a depth adjustment, lateral would then be adjusted...back and forth, watching where the shavings were coming out at..:PullingHair:

Lateral would go one way, cap iron the other...then the depth needed adjusted, again...:PullingHair:

Had an old wooden level...decided to plane the edges straight and square..:ChinScratch:

Straight and square...first few tries, the plane wanted to do a bevel...got that fixed (lateral, again.:BangingHead:.)

Need to check it for level, as the bench...isn't.  then seal up the wood, maybe add some John Deere Green to the sides...:DayDreaming:

 

As for the next project?:WonderScratch:

This is about 30 years old....I think I can build a better one?  Besides, this is about a 1/4 of the set I have....:JawDrop:
