Alan

Bits with spurs were for softwoods and the ones without were for hardwoods., sometimes using softwood augers to start the first 5mm then switch.

Great work, what do you use to finish the handles after sanding?

Score marks on the cut surface.
I was unlucky enough to be reasonable at sharpening saws as an apprentice and it was one of my duties to touch up all the saws, 5 tradesmen, I hated it.
Panel saws...

I prefer to joint every time.
What I don’t hear a lot of is side dressing, which I do lightly. Gives me a nice straight edge of the cut timber.
Interested in other thoughts on this

Hi Derek,
Take a picture from the front of the plane, i think he means that profile of the leading edge is parallel.

Hi all
My job as a young carpenter was to sharpen the saws due to young eyes, I think it's more to do with not having the saw cold than heating it up. Never sharpened a saw before 10.00am and later...

Thanks for organising the sharpening gig Alan, learn't a few new things and confirmed some more.

Hi Folks
Can anybody tell me who made this plane?
I'm thinking of turning it into a scrub plane, seems well built and a little heavier than a stanley. Thanks in advance.

Alan

I second the kero and motor oil, wd40 at a pinch and to clean the stone

I am not too far from Silverdale, send me a message with the details.

A fella called Jim Daley used to sharpen saw from the Goulburn area
