Interesting Excerpt - 1984 - Sneaky Double Iron

French planemaker, I've seen this video before but I couldn't locate it. Two things he does that warm my heart (someone referenced this on one of my videos on youtube, and if they're on here, thanks for the link!! I've been trying to find it for a while).
1) he grind the iron and then works the iron quickly on a stone and gets to it. No 5 or 10 minute process working through a whole bunch of submicron stuff
2) once he puts the iron to the wood, it's clear that he set the double iron deliberately to where it's effective. The chip comes straight up out of the plane and lays on the floor straight

I have no clue what he says, but I wish I did!

He says, "ignore what that DW dude says because he's full of merde, I invented this, moi, moi, moi"

Probably accurate (except for the invention part). While I didn't invent the double iron or how to use it, I would like to make it known at least that I did, in fact, invent the following three things:
* air
* the internet
* words

They are fairly minor compared to proper double iron use, though.

Well, DW, I think I might be entitled to the credit, as I have posted here about that video at least three times...

But I'm pleased that you have drawn attention to it again, as it's such a wonderful film, with so much to enjoy in it.

Here are a couple of stills to show the protective headgear that should be worn in all planemaking, and to encourage any new readers to settle down for half an hour and enjoy the whole thing:

I couldn't remember where I saw it, but of course what of it I could remember was that it was continental planes and that the shavings shot straight out of the plane after the maker got everything fitted.

It came to mind last week after seeing claims of such a thing not happening out in the natural world, or whatever it was.

I like the long parer the guy uses for the bedding, too, and I'm not sure how many more planes I'm going to make, but if it ends up being more than 10 (just haven't decided - it's an issue more of finding qualified users to give planes to than it is desire to make planes) - I'm going to make a large shoulder parer like that.

The new age kevlar helmet they're wearing for protection is worth considering, too.
