Thank you for your suggestions thus far. I will take all things into consideration. I am using planes and irons that my son picked up in a box of stuff at an auction. Both are Stanley. I will start by sharpening once again with a guide at the 25 and 30 degree settings. I sharpen using a 1200 diamond plate, and then home with 3M sheets on glass, usually 8000 and 16000. I’ll retract the iron, then go forward with the adjustment, so that the adjustment will be pushing down when I reach the desired setting. Then I’ll make it a point to tighten down the cap screw, to see if I can get more than a few minutes of cutting. The ash I am using are from dead trees that my son cut down, and sawed into boards on his sawmill. They have been air drying for about a year. In my opinion, it is not awesome lumber, like Paul uses, or like you would find at a hardwood dealer. I have to go through a lot of wood to find good boards. But I can’t beat the price. 🙂
