Great info...will get the Ron's book. I like that he has a lot of pictures. I'm a very visual person. My dad used the thumb nail test also. THANKS!

Thanks for the service and products you have provided for woodworkers. It is hard to imagine it was 34 years ago I bought the first plane iron from you when you had a small shop. Keep up the good work.

Hi Gerald! How nice to hear from you. Have you used up that blade yet? We have more, you know.

@@HockTools That plane iron is nearly gone and I have been thinking about buying some more. The good thing is I have several and rotate them. That way I can change the blade and use a sharp one rather than taking to time to sharpen it at that particular time. When I try to explain to someone how much difference there is in the irons yoiu make, they are always skeptical until I show them the results. Then so often the response is the same---wow! There were a couple of things I noticed immediately when I used the first iron I bought from you. They were the finish I could produce and how much easier the handplane pushed. It is hard to beat results. I am glad you make them, so I can do woodworking and have the best possible success.

This interview was the best discussion I've ever heard in over 60 years of woodworking on metallurgical considerations and sharpening questions for hand tool users . It was totally refreshing for its practicality and lack of bias toward particular methods. Thanks, Ron!
