Someone must have hated that plane. Mistreating your plane is like mistreating your dog. I am glad it found a good home.
26 July 2017 at 7:45 pm #314034[quote quote=313979]Derek Cohen (who owns the site inthewoodshop.com) is a seriously great woodworker, but I’m with Ed on this, even though it means disagreeing with Derek…I don’t think I’ve ever used the depth stop on my router plane (and I don’t recall seeing Paul use it, either) so I also think you can safely skip that part.
As for the brass channel at the end, it’s a very nice touch, typical of Derek’s amazing work, but I think it’s also not needed, esp given the nice touch he did on the eye bolt itself…this picture:
See how he filed the rear of the eye bolt so it has two flat faces which meet at a point? I think that’s brilliant, and really the key feature. Do that with the front of the eye bolt as well as the rear, and file or cut the matching notch into the wood at the back of the router plane (as Derek did) but for the cutter to seat, not some brass piece. That will result in a perfect seat with the flat faces of the cutter, and I think you’ll have a solid router plane without the need for any brass.

I had not seen that. What’s the point of doing it on the back side!? I could see the point of doing it on the top, as it would have more surface area to grip onto the blade’s shaft.
Thx for tip

5 January 2017 at 6:45 pm #143837Are they not the same? I might be confused. https://paulsellers.com/2013/12/caps-chip-breakers/
Anyways, I bought this piece of junk from Harbor Freight for $15.

Based on the pics I am seeing on the parts breakdown it seems to have a lever cap and blade.
Then I bought a semi-toasty #4 Stanley Bailey from ebay for $28.

5 January 2017 at 6:36 pm #143835[quote quote=143822]The issue i think you will find is that the stones need to be flat but solid as well, as you dont want it to yeild under the blade, and the second size at 2×6 is going leave you wishing for more room to work the blade. keep with glass or a flat tile and sandpaper for now would be my suggestion.

Paul sharpens at an angle, so if I do the same, 2″ would be sufficient to sharpen things 2″ or slightly larger.
[quote quote=143823]I actually recently bought the UltraSharp 3×8 stones. I haven’t used them long enough to tell you how durable they are and I can’t speak to their true flatness but otherwise I am very happy with them so far. Generally speaking you’re going to get what you pay for and I think those $12 DMT stones are probably pretty crappy.
I actually did what Paul did in one of his videos–you can get a truly/certified flat granite block from Amazon for $30-40. They weigh about 20-25lbs. But I assumed OP wanted the cheapest option available which would just be a cheap, “flat” plate of some sort.
Bottom line, you’re going to get out of your tools what you put into them.

Yah, I think I am going to go for the $50 diamond plates. Seems like a good deal, and they have a lifetime warranty, supposedly anyways.

5 January 2017 at 10:35 am #143821How about these DMT’s?

Cheap thin diamond plates, but for $12…
The only complaint in the review is that the back comes off, but that is an incredibly easy fix. Heck, you might be better off putting it on a stone to start with.
