Hand Plane Cure All - Cambers

[@bigdteakettle8989]

I always enjoy it when you go into teaching mode for hand tools! My wife has been teaching for 28 years and the first time she heard one of your videos she remarked about how clear and easy to understand your teaching was.

Easily the best educator on KZbin! I absolutely love all your content!

The guidance to angle the pressure points on strong cambers not seen before, excellent.

Hello there 👋👋how are you doing today?hope you had a better day?💕💕

[@houstonsam6163]

Your content is fantastic, and this video is no exception. Many thanks for what you share.

I really dont know how work can be done with straight irons, all my bench planes are cambered too. The jointing technique with the "finger fence" is a good tip for anyone who finds it frustrating to get square edges :) Good stuff Shawn :)

Cool video. Great explanation!

Another great video! Enjoyed watching. On a side note I can't help but wonder what that pile of blanks on your bench are going to be made into.

Chris Schwartz ? Guess spot on wood Wright shop dud an episode on using hand plane with the curve blade! Very interesting!

[@wrstew1272]

When I first saw your drawing on the whiteboard, looks like a front bead on a rifle or pistol sight, for training purposes! Couldn’t resist the analogy. Do you radius the blade on a jointer plane? I just round the corners on a smooth or jointer to eliminate the edge digging in if everything isn’t exactly perfect. Which I ain’t. Good video.

[@whittysworkshop982]

I think he said he cambers all his bench planes in the video :)

I'm having a weird problem sharpening my plane blades and I'm wondering if you might know what's going on. I'm using waterstones, flattened with a rough DMT plate, and I'm also using a Veritas MK II jig. But lately all of my plane blades are coming off the stones with a hollow in the middle. I'm being very careful to not press down in the middle of the blade hard when sharpening, and I'm even finding myself having to compensate by continually having to put a camber on the blade after moving up each grit to offset the hollow that I'm building up. What's going on?

[@johanneswerner1140]

That would be the first time I hear a stone is proud in the centre ;) Have you checked the flatness and the wear of the diamond plate you use to flatten the water stones? Those do wear as well, or can get bent. Good luck!

[@wortheffort]

If you dull the center more in use you'll always have to remove more from the sides in sharpening to maintain straight. Sounds to me like you do more edge work than face work.

[@justinsane332]

ive had thos happen as well, mostly on my bu planes that i try to keep straight, so i started to camber those as well. i think shawn is probably on to the issue here.

[@SirBenJamin_]

Is that a Hock plane blade you have in your wooden plane? if so, is it the 3 1/2" length or the 4 1/2" length?

[@wortheffort]

Longer

I cringed when he was grinding the blade at 90° its so much work to sharpen

[@wortheffort]

As explained in video, grind shape at 90 then grind bevel. Less chance of changing temper. The bevel didn’t take me 30 seconds. Showed in video.

[@whittysworkshop982]

Thats how its done when changing the geometry of an iron with a grinder....... removing so much metal while holding it at the bevel angle means the leading edge gets VERY hot, ruining the hardness of your iron. Once its shaped, then you do the bevel, very carefully and cooling every 3-4 seconds of grinding. You are only cringing coz you dont know how its done...... if ya go straight to the bevel, the chances of havin scrap metal in your hands instead of a cutting iron is DRASTICALLY increased :) If youre doing this kinda job, follow Shawn's instruction, they are good :)

[@ared18t]

Japanese masters do it the same way.
