Did you do any of the many upgrades available or is it as purchased?

It is more than a year since I have used it, I'm afraid I gave up, it seemed like far too much tinkering and not sure what wasn't working correctly. The only thing I remember was having to level the bed constantly. Maybe a lot of spaghetti too in the end and never quite sure how close the nozzle...

I bought an Creality Ender 3 V2 in Feb 2021 for my son then 12. After a while, it felt like I was spending all my spare time trying to get it to work. There were some successes but more failures. It alsonfelt like most of the people on the forums didn't really know what they were talking about...

It is more than twice what I pay in Italy

Seimec Spa closed down

How much are you prepared to spend? Try here . I haven't bought from them in a while. I used to buy Omega brushes from them.

The setup of the dai or wooden plane body in a Japanese plane for kanna is critical and constantly adjusted depending on the type of planing. It starts off flat but the area in contact with the workpiece varies according the work. Ideally a smoothing plane should make contact with the wood at...

I don't know why he scribbled, except maybe to aid in taking off a uniform layer. The finish from a hand plane is so much nicer than sanded or machine planed, I guess it could be a purely cosmetic pass of the plane, to improve the finish.

I think they probably did care about their work. Or they wouldn't have left us the instruments they did. Is it that difficult to understand that we are all different and see things in different ways?

Flat shavings, a good advert for Clifton.

24" bow saw with raker tooth patter did the job but boy was it slow.

I recently sold a relatively new 5 1/2 record. The quality really was rubbish. Especially around the asjusters.

I think I may have the crown guard, I'll check. Mine came without sliding table and I found it impossible ot too expensive to make one up from the above.

And they do it with of all things, waterstones, and flat ones at that.

But nowhere near as sharp as your planes. Just a gimmick.

I used gauge plate again, 5 x 15mm.
