Did you De-Tention that screw cap before increasing the depth of cut? I just got a Quangsheng block plane and had trouble with the depth adjuster. I thought if i de-tentioned the screw cap, it may skew the blade. But i guess you just barely take the pressure off, just enough so the deoth adjustment works? Thank you for this video!

hi I'm your new fans😊

tip: rub little wax block on the base of the plane to help with gliding.

Mastery of the basics is so important. Practice. Bruce Lee stated, “I am not afraid of a person who knows 10,000 kicks. But I am afraid of a person who knows one kick but practices it for 10,000 times.” There are only 10 numerals but you can make any number in the world with them. There are only 26 letters in the English language but you can spell hundreds of thousands of words with them.
