Those gerbils are gonna be happy bunnies with all of those shavings you’re making Ken 😀  It’s good knowing your bench is progressing nicely. 😉

One set of tips for planing through knots is;

1. Ensure plane iron/blade is as sharp as possible.

2. Reduce set on your plane.

3. Skew the plane slightly for a slicing cut.

4. Repeat numbers 1, 2 & 3 😉 🙂

Presently subliminally messaging on SWMBO and the kids for a #62 plane for xmas 🙂
