Surely then having this particular iron in a smoothing plane is beneficial? afterall, it is intended to take a few shavings at or near the completion of a job where the reliability of the wafer thin shaving you speak of is required. One of the other snippets he relayed to me was, he does very...

At the risk of becoming a bore or opening up old wounds, I have another query, which does in fact relate to plane irons. I attended the European WW show at Cressing Temple at the weekend, I had the great pleasure to chat, albeit briefly with David Charlesworth, what a very helpful and down to...

....................You consider 90* tolerable? Mind you, I sweat in a hail storm

Sounds jolly plausible (given most Chinese manufacturers make for multiple sellers), they just sort them and stick rosewood handles on the ones going to WH and bubinga on the ones for Rutland. If so the question would be, which pile are the ones going to these guys being taken from, before they...

Thanks for the kind words Paul,. I would however have liked it a tad bigger (oh -err) particularly head height as I am 6'3". However, I have what I have due to planning etc etc, although it is my intention to have one more suited to my needs and wants when next we relocate. David
