Yes, there is a video on sharpening it under “Tools and Technique”. It helped a lot, but does not substitue practice… somethig I´m lacking on this tool.
22 July 2015 at 1:29 pm #128736Yes, Matt. To much of a burr makes it too agressive, chattering and giving a rough surface. Turning a more gentle burrr (less angle and less pressure on the burnisher) made it work better. There is an enourmous variation according to the wood you are working on, some are more ‘scrapable’. There is some art on sharpening it….. But it is a saver on wild grain.

14 February 2014 at 11:52 am #27835John, I made my blades out of an used cutter disc from a corn planter. They may average 15″ in diameter, 5/32 thick. I´ve cut it out with an eletric angle grinder, shaped, hardened and anealed. terrific cut, a bit too hard do work with hand tools. Very, very inexpensive.
13 February 2014 at 1:16 pm #27807Randy, your plane looks great! I could not pay attention on that nice shaped wooden rabet plane standing behind yours wooden. May you post a couple of pics of it? I would appreciate. Thanks,
Sergio.
