If I remember and I might be wrong but I thought Paul said that the first step height is to add rigity at the bottom. Paul did say you could use different hinges later in the build, but will have to watch again to remember where. Like everyone said try it for one month. Nothing ventured nothing gained. P.s. I am also on a fixed income one of the reasons I like Paul’s way us he teaches ways to overcome these hurdles like with the poor man’s router plane.

22 December 2015 at 10:51 pm #133350I took own Pauls first book and have been looking forward to getting me hands on the newest. Will there be a preorder special with autographs? Just kidding I really do want to get my hands on the new one anyway.

I did the same thing except I also got mine from Lowes. I spent hours trying to get the surfaces to mate the rounded corners were a problem for me because I did what we all are taught to do is let the wood acclimate to your shop before using it. This was a big mistake here in the south since our humidity is considerably higher and to me box store lumber is wetter because it is stored outside in the elements. The stack I picked through had been brought in that morning after a hard night rain so it was all wet. I thought letting them set in the shop would let them dry some what I was not expecting was how they would bow, twist and wind which was the reason my hours of flattening them. If they are the least bit wet I would recommended at least getting the top together as fast as possible because when glued together there is less chance of the above mentioned problems. Not saying that it cant or wont happen but two boards glued together makes it hard to twist, bow and wind than one board sitting by itself. Just some problems I ran into when I built mine. Next bench will be some thing different but at least this got me woodworking. Also check the top because on mine I had to send a few hours getting it flat after I got it all glued up because this was my first project with only hand tools I had to learn as I went so the top was not even across.
Branko10 August 2015 at 4:03 pm #129216Ok found it in Paul’s You Tube channel under “Preparing a wooden Jack Plane” I just purchased one off ebay but havent had the time to do anything with it yet. Hope this helps
10 August 2015 at 3:52 pm #129215I just watched Paul’s video on restoring and tuning a traditional plane on you tube I think. It is an excellent video and he explains how to adjust the plane iron laterally by hitting it along the top edge towards to light cutting side. If I can find the link I will post it
14 July 2015 at 1:08 am #128479Thanks for all the suggestions I will be watching and reading for a while since I got hurt and can do nothing else but lay in bed watching videos and reading different approaches. I am struggling to remain here since its my back hurt because I really want to get out into the shop and do something even if its just sitting there looking at my tools but I can not remain in a seated position for more than a few minutes. I hope more post with ideas so that I can stay occupied during my recovery time even if it requires I need surgery to repair the damage.
