thank you folks so much for the replies. I added a few more pics o the blade sticking out of the bottom of the plane.
raze599: my chip iron is good…no light between it and the blade. I hadn’t heard about sanding the frog a bit so I’ll give that a shot as well.
Mark Armstrong & Matthew Jones: I’m guessing I need to re-learn how to use a protractor after seeing Marks diagram (Geometry wasn’t my greatest strength). I used a speed square to set and angle…..seems to be I did that way wrong. Oh well. I just bought some new Norton india stones and they are fun to use and need to be broken in. I’ll go buy a real protractor and get to grinding. I’ll let you guys know how it turns out.
thanks to all you folks for the help. I truly do appreciate it.
