Greeting Derek I do agree the delivery is slow. Having said that what i am looking for a teacher is someone who covers the topic merticulously, at the students pace, and that includes critically the beginner, some less skilled, essentially stating the obvious to the more skilled. The...

When i attended the course in 2001 all of the plane was fettled. I'm not in the habit of assuming things, may I suggest you actually email David for a reply. I'm sure he will explain. The tools sharpening course took my craftsmanship to another level. Without that course i would not have...

Bugbear I attended one of David's courses in 2001. His delivery is slow precise with meticulous attention to detail. I could not have asked for anything better. Worth every penny. Alan Wood

Interesting thread this. I agree on the slow delivery. Having said that you will certainly end up with a very sharp blade. Alan

Congratulations on your achievements to date. I'm very impressed. cheers Alan.

I must say this is a most interesting thread and as a contributor to the magazine I would like to cover a few points. I really don’t believe that British Woodworking magazine is bias towards British products and at no time has Nick me to promote them. Having read through all of my writings to...

Philly I just love discussions based on fact. I not wasting time repeating my previous points, but your comments about the attack on David Charlesworth are not based on fact. My issue is with LN, its their product. You need to keep to the facts mate. This is the final word. Good. cheers...

In reply to tnimble I glad you received some benefit from the dvd. Bugbear thanks for the link Philly If you have a problem with my opinion based on fact. Tough. As far as this being a personal matter with the presenter of the dvd. Well that takes the biscuit for the day. David...

David Charlesworth said Fair cop guv. So the next question is;- Do L-N have any plans to rectify the problem by recalling the product and replacing it with one that deals with quote ‘and the third and most important is the condition of the flatness of the sole of the plane’ cheers Alan

tnimble wrote Alan you must than agree that with the Veritas and that second Lie Nielsen plane the DVD would have been everything you need to get the best of of the veritas and LN In reply. I think it’s a fair question to ask, have you watch the dvd? In the introduction to the dvd we hear...

Hi guys, with regards to tnimbles question On the course I attended there were four students. Cannot recall the chaps name but he had a LN and that required work on the sole, but only a small amount compared with the rest of us with old Bailey planes. I own two old Bailey planes and both of...

Pam, So you have not even see or listened to the dvd. How about borrowing a copy listen to what David says, then post an opinion based on fact and give an objective view. I must say I did question why you made these comments and now I know. You've not seen the dvd. How about David...

Pam I think you are getting bogged down on the title of the dvd. I was disappointed the dvd did not cover the flattening of the plane sole for this reason. Approximate quotes from the introduction. Welcome, this video is designed to help you to get the best out of your new plane. (you seem...

Hi Paul, I completely disagree. I've expressed my views, highlighted a topic that I believe should have been covered. Its my opinion. Just ideas to improve. cheers Alan

Hi Pam, I believe the time issue is nothing to do with me as a person who has bought a product and feels disappointed that the dvd did not cover a critical part of the process, one that was covered on the course I and many other attended. If you are in the business of producing any product...

Pam, My point is simply this. To get a plane tuned up ready for fine cabinet making it requires all of the stuff that is covered in the dvd PLUS flattening the bottom of the plane using Woodblokes method shown in this thread. If you followed the dvd as it stands, you will still have to look...

I agree with Tony on this issue. I am glad that there is a superb example thanks to 'Woodbloke' in this thread, for any beginner wishing to flatten the bottoms of a plane. cheers Alan Wood

David, You say in the dvd words to the effect that flattening of the bottom is essential. Without doubt I was say it was critical. We dealt with this on your course, and i felt disappointed that it was not covered in the dvd. Do you not think that it should be in? In my view if that...

Hi Mark, I use the same product as Woodbloke. I think the set up he has for flattening the bottom is superb. Cannot find my notes from the Dave C course but we used a very rough grade of abrasive initially to get the bottoms flat then sequentially finer grades. I bought Davids dvd on...
