@oliverkozak Thanks for the tips. I will give the baking soda solution a shot tonight.
20 September 2015 at 12:25 pm #130683@mattmcgrane I’ve noticed dust settling on them as well. Happened to my water stones as well.
20 September 2015 at 2:13 am #130668” I know some of you, cynical people out there are saying yea thats’s pine not oak. Well, you give me the oak and you pay for my oak and I ll show you what it can in oak too”
Classic!
20 September 2015 at 2:03 am #130667Oh nice one @trooper82 My stones were so coarse when i first got them that wiping them off with an old tshirt left cotton all over them haha. I think they are smooth enough now that they wont abdrade too much shirt
15 September 2015 at 4:46 pm #130515Much appreciated. I think I have enough insight that I can put this wisdom to use in my shop and see If I can get sharper edges.
Thanks guys15 September 2015 at 2:14 pm #130508Ed,
Ok I see your theory regarding the quick pull to flip the burr. I did try whacking some maple and I did not feel a burr reappear on the back side. I assume I successfully removed the burr. I did notice the plane was significantly easier to push than before. This one piece of maple has a lot more reversing grain than I would normally like but I’m cheap and refuse to waste it.Thanks for all of your help thus far!
15 September 2015 at 3:47 am #130452So I had a go at it. I’m making progress. Stropping definitely seemed to make sure I got rid of that burr. Would it benefit me to take the backs up to a really high grit on sandpaper and only remove the burr on my strop? Would the edge be better?
14 September 2015 at 10:59 pm #130442Really helpful suggestions. The weather is really nice today and I think I’ll give her a shot! I’ll report back to you soon.
14 September 2015 at 6:13 pm #130436Ed I Think you hit the nail on the head. I always feel like there is a burr left after sharpening but I just can’t seem to remove it. Sometimes I think the burr is just my imagination but I’m almost certain I feel just a slight burr.
14 September 2015 at 4:30 am #130398Thanks for the reply Derek. I know your right about over complicating things. I can’t help but feel that my blades aren’t as sharp as they could be. I was planing some hard maple yesterday and I just feel like I am having to push as hard as I would a car or something. My bench was trying to move even. Then I read about guys effortlessly paring end grain with chisels and I see Paul working white oak… I’m missing something and that something seems to be sharpness.
14 January 2015 at 4:10 pm #123518I ignored the nubs and just planed off exta material until it fit.
8 January 2015 at 2:58 pm #123240I realize this discussion is a couple weeks old, but I thought I would mention that I inadvertently bought this hammer recently from the company that Gary mentioned above. BigredtoolboxUS sells on AMazon as well, as that is where I purchased it.
