I second what Dave says. Many times I have had to start out with 80grit wet and dry sandpaper on a flat tile. Once the tool was close then I moved on. Don’t give up keep working at it.
27 December 2014 at 11:38 pm #122738MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE. Spending time with loved ones was awesome but the real joy was in giving hand made presents to everyone. Thank you to the SELLERS FAMILY for what you do.
17 December 2014 at 10:26 pm #122278Sound proof the walls of your work area. You could use insulation panels that have a foam center with a smooth side. It is used in the U.S.for insulating the attic of a house. I put it in my attic to get rid of the noise from my heater blower.
17 December 2014 at 10:17 pm #122276I second what Matt says. I had the same problem and realized I had been trying to use Turning gouges. I reground mine because I did not want to spend more money. Noe they work just fine.
10 December 2014 at 4:23 am #122038I have fixed 4 old squares that way. Workes great and was fun to do. I used the steel beam or ruler on the last 2. The tabs are very soft so the edge of the beam will scrape it very easy. Go slow and keep checking it.
26 November 2014 at 4:39 pm #121496I use my combination square to check for flatness. Adjust where nessary to close the gap. If the plane was dropped at sometime it may of landed on the top end of the blade or cap. I have had the same problem with a couple of old planes I restored.
14 November 2014 at 5:14 am #120954Are you going to try them. That’s pretty cheap,they can’t be flat for that price.
8 November 2014 at 11:12 pm #120729Thank you Phillip I was getting confused because there are so many different brands once you start looking.
6 November 2014 at 9:37 pm #120674No Eddy I wish I could but California is a little to far. I did go to the show in southern California last weekend. Veritas was there and I got a couple of nice new tools. But I was a little irritated at all the machines making so much noise. All I could think about was don’t these people know how to really work wood hear. Sort of funny but I used to be a machine operator as far as wood goes. I kept saying to my wife that’s not how Paul does it. But if you go have a great time. I just wanted to say thank you for all the great posts. I am a new member and always enjoy reading your posts.

Victorville Ca.4 November 2014 at 5:20 pm #120514Looks very nice. A lot of work but well worth it. I use shipping crates and pallet wood all the time. I hate to see so much wood just discarded and taken to the dump or burnt up. Great job.
