Handplane Workshop

[Kent Adams]

I want to thank Bill and Mike and others for the hand plane workshop. I met lots of interesting folks, learned some, especially that I was doing it right and even left with a free No.4 Stanley plane. Chili was great as were my classmates.

I, too, learned a lot yesterday. I met some really great guys, ate some delicious chili. I took some photos and have posted them here: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/showgallery.php?cat=2900

If any of you that took photos want to post them to that gallery it is under Group Project and is called "March 2016 Sharpening Class".

Sad I had to miss this, especially because I would like to have know what Dirk was up to right be fore you took that photo?!

Actually, he was working very diligently on sharpening a plane iron right up until the second I snapped the pic.

I had a great day at the workshop. Could have stayed at home and done this, but it is good to get out, meet other members and see other ways of doing things. This was a bunch of tools that are being put together for green wood spoon carving and possibly working towards primitive Windsor chair building. Thanks to everyone for help, Bill for a wonderful shop and Mike for all the info and critical eye. These were sharpened using a Harbor freight 200-600 diamond block to start and then moved to an 800/1200/4000 Waterstone group. Also used the belt sander in Bills shop to do the initial bevel establishment on the drawknife and hatchet before I moved to the stones. The three scandi knives are sharpened with no secondary bevel.
