Good stuff, Ed. There is a lot of satisfaction in that sound. I’ve been at hand planing a few years, and I still have times when things aren’t right. Keep in mind that things go out of whack, so when you run into trouble, make sure to:
– sharpen, sharpen, sharpen
– set the iron in the plane properly so it takes the same shaving on left and right sides
– oil/wax the bottom of the plane
– read the grain for direction of planing
– probably lots of other things that don’t come to mind right now.
