If you happen to live near a large city you might try googling “maker spaces”. I am in a similar situation to you but the thing about a makerspace is that they generally have everything already set up. It is a regular trend in the US; they are popping up all over, fueled by people’s desire to build something by hand and funded, at least in part, by the high paying, though immensely frustrating, IT positions that people find themselves landing in all too often. In the Atlanta area, google Freesideatlanta.org, or a number of other makerspaces in central Georgia, but avoid (if at all possible) the ‘for profit’ knock offs of the volunteer-organized maker spaces, at least I would, and do. That is, unless you have the income to do so, which I for one do not. Good luck.

Also pay attention to the link author’s warnings about this plane. Apparently they aren’t rare at all, though this could work in your favor.
22 November 2018 at 10:08 pm #553415I’ve been struggling with this as well, but I have noticed, particularly in Paul’s Dovetail Caddy series where the camera operator zooms in super close to him cutting various knife walls, that he holds the knife at an slight vertical angle to the edge of the blade of the square. My guess is that its a 15 degree angle, which would match the angle the knife was ground at, totaling a dead vertical cut. Paying attention to this on top of all the other points people have been making should go a long way towards addressing both of our struggles.
The sketch below (from Mr. Seller’s blog, entitled “What is a Knifewall?”, https://paulsellers.com/2017/12/whats-knifewall/) ought to clear things up a bit.- This reply was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by David Alvarez.
