Usually, when I am working on a rabbet, I'm not too concerned with the finish - so I have the plane set to take a thicker shaving for quicker work. It's a trade off.<br /><br />I'm glad you are having fun with your new planes. Do you have a bench in the house?<br /><br />Jerry - I'm always curious if others like this kind of stuff - it's nice to hear that you do.

You tune it in to take some Greater Shavings, I set mine to just take a little at a time, I guess like a Smoothing Plane.<br /><br />I'll to Play around with it some more, It's too cold outside for me to do any projects with the new planes, so I have them set here in the house til I can get out to the shop.<br /><br />I have been playing with them thou a little in the house dirting up my hardwood floor with whisperers and curls from them to get the hang of them slightly lol<br /><br />HandiHandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694179060825320800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-50407188653415157692009-12-11T05:55:07.045-09:002009-12-11T05:55:07.045-09:00Ethan - Thanks!

I just get a kick out of it. And of course I am biased, but I have to say that I never even thought about taking a portrait of my old table saw and its pile of sawdust ;) Things are just different with hand tools - at least for me.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-88338134515133437012009-12-08T02:26:20.647-09:002009-12-08T02:26:20.647-09:00I absolutely LOVE these pictures!

With a close second being the whimsical curly shavings of the tonguing and grooving plane. <br /><br />Great post Dan, Thanks!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238154386723749318noreply@blogger.com
