I like that painting behind you. Abstract art 🖼️ is my favorite 👍🏼

[@EvanMonsma]

Should I auction it

[@havefunbesafe]

No let it evolve into its final form. I’m a huge fan of the painter Cy Twombly…pure inspiration. A muscular disdain for the European tradition.

Heyo I've restored my fair share of rusty old things. And I actually bought a set of planes after seeing you buy some. I'll be bringing those to life and would love to see the parallels on what we experience fixing these things.

One thing that helped me with sharpening (knives) was to attach a magnetic digital level to the blade. It helped me build muscle memory for what angle to hold the blade. That's just for freehanding though

2:30 well quit snacking at your desk

For real, he needs to lock in or stop complaining about his lack of wood

I like how your videos can work as a podcast or something like that

[@toddler_dragons]

Have you seen Rex Krueger planner restoration videos? I think they are the best.

Hey man, I recommend you use high grit wet sanding paper up to 2k (higher isn’t necessary) and spray glue it onto something flat like a piece of glass. Paul sellers has all the info for this here on yt

[@EvanMonsma]

2k is enough? Maybe I’m good then- I ended up using sandpaper up to 3k and wasn’t sure if that was good since all the tutorials use 6k

[@Thelobbyingdetective]

That actually is wild that they don't sell those around. Go to the interwebs

It’s almost as if you made this video for the current status of my «replace ps4-sticks» project on the Discord ;) No retreat, no surrender, just take step back and evaluate the situation before going forward again - The ps4 stick most certainly kicked *my* butt, but new housing for the flat cable is on the way for a second go-around, while I try to transplant the new joysticks from the now broken ps4-controller to my second controller, but *now* having the knowledge that the Sony Solder has a super high melting point, a heat gun gets the business done, and melted plastics can be scraped off the pcb - now all I have to *not* do is melt that flat cable housing again …

[@JoffJk]

Just buy sandpaper and glue it to glass

You should fix bikes😂

tl;dr unfortunately skill issue, buy strop and/or diamond sharpening stones. Watched more of the video and knives and sharp things are my bread and butter. For the planes and other tools diamond sharpening stones are about 20$ for a set online and don't need maintenance or oil for use, unfortunately yes sharpening stones need maintenance too. But your specific issue of not being able to find 1000, the solution is to either use sandpaper on a sheet of glass or to not worry about it if you already have the 600 or 800. Although 1000 would definitely be nice, the lower grit ones are good enough to make your plane scary sharp what is holding you back is pretty much just skill. A leather strop with buffing compound with good technique on a 600 will get you a very usable blade, but poor technique with a 1000 will just add another step that can cause you to accidentally dull your blade.

Good to know- Turns out it was plenty sharp after all, I was just setting the depth wrong. Gotta add more camber to the edges too
