Thanks Pac man. We need MORE of these in depth, nuanced "how to" stories. I shudder to think of people using a knife or sander to sharp a pencil.
Cheers, Bill

This is something that has been needed for a long time. I look forward to others of the same ilk. I have great problems in tuning my workshop broom.
Cheers,

It's always those things they take for granted that cause all the trouble.

Actually, I would be very interested in how the plane performs with different graphite hardness pencils. Anyone have the time to do this?

No-one has mentioned bevel up versus bevel down in this specialist area yet.

Yeah I know! And how did he make his pencil? I wouldn't use a shop bought pencil on any project. Originally Posted by jimbur

I'm not sure that he is going to achieve an optimum sharpening angle on that pencil either, given the setting of the block planes' throat.
