I am also still a bit confused- For example, the “famous” Chris Schwarz talks about the smoothing plane as the LAST thing to touch the surface, before finishing it.
Wha??I guess there really is more to sanding than some folks wanna admit 😀

when paul makes that spoon on the youtube video, finishing it using spokeshave and scraper- how about grain raising? he doesnt mention how to tackle it? can you tackle it with the “blade”? or has to be sand paper?5 February 2015 at 10:41 am #124391lol well, its just a sketch that emphasizes the phenomena. 🙂 😀
1 February 2015 at 9:34 am #124181Well, Dwaugh, yes, i forgot to admit I had over exxagerated like TOTALLY, in all aspects. 😀
well, still, I’m happy I posted this. It’s one of those moments, that you learn something, when you ask it, (and draw) , you see your question and understand the answer. 🙂 Thanks for your answer.

Thanks Matthew and John for your replies. They both make sense. however, I want to go even deeper here- I feel this intense wish to really understand what happens while planing. Take a look at the attached picture.a.) the plane starts
b., c., d.) the “continuing” of the initial direction- the movement we get on a tuned power jointer.
e.) the movement we actually get- it is slightly different from b. c. d.;
When we start moving, the angle of the blade starts to change immediatelly until we reach the point where the whole sole of the plane is in touch with the wood. then the angle stays the same (but different from the initial angle) This happens because of our downwards pushing at the rear “handle” part of the plane.So, i am interested in knowing whether my sketch e.) is true, and how come this effect doesnt seem to be a problem. i really wonder.
(p.s. Is it anyhow connected to the japanese reason for a longer front sole- well, the longer front sole sure helps you to have a great reference surface at the front part, not having to change the angle- BUT when you come to the end of the piece you re planing you get the same effect. so i doubt it is connected.)
