Hi,

No, it is all according to end use and end user.

Hi Rob,

Paul says:
The little ones work just fine but eventually you will want a full sized version I think.

Hi Kevin,

Paul says:
Definitely the dovetail saw as you can both rip and crosscut with the same saw.

Hi Colin,

Paul says:
Sometimes planes get cannibalised by dealers and you may not have a totally authentic plane as the plane may have been fitted out with anon-woden iron.

Hi Thomas,

Paul says:
Many planes went to steel and or plastic during the war because brass was needed for munitions. They did eventually go back to brass.

Hi Chris,

Paul says:
I prefer the two set ups. They are one and the same plane with a modified blade transformed by the owner.You can also just buy a spare blade too and use the same plane body.

These are abrasive paddles Paul uses to sharpen the Woodworker’s Knife. You can see them here: https://commonwoodworking.com/setting-up-a-woodworkers-knife/

Hi,

Paul says:

These are one and the same saw with different number of teeth per distance length. The 20 tpi is too fine for self sharpening so go for the 15tpi. Easier on the eyes.

Hi,

Paul says:
Just do the latter. You won’t regret throwing yourself in the deep end. You can do this.

Hi,

Paul says:
Give it a shot, yes. You have nothing to lose and creating the slurry is how the Japanese have done it for centuries.

Hi,

Paul says:
Not really, but better to split the distance before hand as we rarely have the blade adjustment extended to both extremes.

Hi,

Paul says:
It doesn’t. Better to use a coping saw across the grain this way.

Hi,

Paul says:
I’ve owned and used Crown for many classes for decades. The Axminster one is made by the same company so you are getting one and the same anyway.

Hi Steve,

I really don’t know as I haven’t tried this.

Hi,

Paul says yes, it will indeed.

Hi André,

Paul says:
There is not usually a problem, just be aware that it leaves a bevel mark indent in the wood on one side so cut lightly when using it.

Hi Sean,

Paul says:

I think a set of eze-lap plates would last me about 10 years of daily use.
I have recently tried out the least expensive diamond plates I could find at £3 a piece and these work great too.
