Garrett is a great guy. The video is perfect in pace and information. I think the best on You Tube that I have found. I called his business asking for shellac product thinking I would get VM or an assistant. Garrett answered the phone and gave me the time for a full explanation of why he no longer provided product. I purchased 'The Handplane Book' by Garrett Hack in 1997. Used for 25.00. So just last week I rediscovered the book and give it an A+. Garrett is a gentleman and a scholar.

Great review. I have made myself a low angle and bevel up. It just works great.

Very good video on the description of the #62

Looks a bit bigger than a 62…?

He shows a 7 1/2 in one camera cut, but the one he's using is a 62. You can tell by the throat adjuster under the front knob which the 7 1/2 doesn't have.

Not a 62, It's a low angle 7 1/2.
