I shall be demonstrating this at the Axminster 40th anniversary show this weekend, in Axminster.

Interesting stuff, but does this slow movement really translate to hand planes where they move much faster?

From personal experience, I have found that a keen edge and moving the chip breaker back to allow the shaving to move out gives very good results. Having said that, there are troublesome timbers in my workshop which I have yet to concur with a plane.
 
The research shows that an excellent surface, on contrary grain, can be left by a 4 thou shaving (o.1mm).

With chipbreaker set back one might be lucky and get a good surface with a 0ne thou shaving. but the 4 thou shaving is likely to produce significant tearout.

Moi :-" :lol:

Not this time Paul :lol:

I came across the video whilst doing a bit of research & knowing how the members like to talk all things plane I thought I'd post it up.


Cheers.
 
Yeah, but DOES Jacob agrees with this video? :lol:

Mr Charlesworth, thanks for the info. I wonder when you
are going to show us how to get such a full head of hair
like you have? Make a video, I''ll buy it immediately.
 
Isn't it great when scientific process trumps shouty pub arguments.

It's like watching the world evolve from the superstitious dark ages into the age of reason!
 
Well, I had great fun demonstrating this at the show, which had moved into the shop.

The ultra close set chipbreaker even did a decent job on the wood from hell, Indian Laurel, (thank you Rob).

I am particularly pleased to have learned this "new" old technique. Not sure how it had evaded me for the last 40 years.

I'm afraid I can't help with the hair Ali, just a combination of genes and the attitudes and fashion of the late 60's........

Best wishes,
David
