Starter working on PS three legged stool. Got the wood laminated and clamped it in the vice.
Plane seems sharp but I get stripe marks and the shavings don’t look that nice.
More set? Less set? More sharpness?
Iān Dutch and heard Paul saying the word skewing before and didn’t get it. But iT means to try to adjust the angle?
It could mean 2 things (in my thinking). 1) Don’t plane parallel to the grain and don’t plane perpendicular to it (so you can plane across the grain, just not straight across). 2) Alternatively, it could just refer to the angle of presentation of the cutting iron. You could plane parallel to the grain but with the plane itself presented at an angle to the board.
In an ideal world, you want to plane with the grain for optimum results. You can use the sole of the plane across a wide section of your surface to check for flatness.
Skewing the plane basically mean planing diagonally to the direction of the grain,so corner to corner.
Are you using a scrub plane or does your plane blade have a radius on its edge.
