    Default I've checked myself all over...

    and still cannot find the hand plane bug bite mark...

    Still seems I must have been bitten. Added 4 to the toolbox in the last 3 days...one is an old Record No7 that looks hardly used...

    One is a 078 with some bits missing. I'll get photos up to seek assistance identifying and sourcing replacements..

    Found mine after a few hours of planing looks similar to a blister on the webbing between your thumb and index finder but the itch never seems to go away...

    Now to find a way that works for me to do the sharpening. I'm having reasonable success getting a working sharp blade on wet and dry on glass. Not scary sharp but just sharp enough to get the job done...Ideally I'd like to get better at it, though. The common thread I'm seeing on here is practice is a key ingredient....so... the more planes I have, the more sharpening I do, therefore more practice, so QED buy more planes to get better at sharpening...LOL!

    I hear a tormek is a potential cure for that...

    There are more on benches and in a tool bag. The 140 is awaiting fettling . . . I have a 62 in the tool bag, for it's the most convenient size to carry. The Veritas LA Block stays in the wooden tool box, ready to take that lick of a piece . . .

    The 140, no chance. It and the 92 are the newest members of the tribe, forum snaffles
