    New (second hand) plane

    i know, i just needed it to be ground I think, then I can keep on top of it with a sharpening stone myself as I don't have a grinder as I'm broke. It will all come together bit by bit. Gotta start somewhere eh? Cheers for the help guys.

    New (second hand) plane

    yeah, the oak seems pretty tough indeed. I was thinking of taking it to a butchers tomorrow but I'm not sure if they regrind or not. Is this the method of "Scary Sharp" you mentioned?

    New (second hand) plane

    Hi, I just bought a second hand Stanley Bailey No5 hand plane from the car boot (I'm broke) and I'm having trouble getting it going. I have built a V-Lam skateboard from Meranti and American Oak. I'm trying to use the plane to reduce the thickness of the board but the plane just isn't taking...

    Newbie finishing

    Yeah, It is at the moment, but depending on how the shaping goes it could turn into a spatula :lol: this is only a rough shape at the mo and I really need to start thinning it down but since I'm poor I only have a certain amount of tools to do it, so it's a bit on the Ghetto side of shaping...
