The New Traditional Woodworker: From Tool Set to Skill Set to Mind Set (9781440304286): Jim Tolpin. Bob Easton. Oct272014 Kerfing Plane – Done There are a lot more pictures this time because I read that a lot of people avoid saw making, rehabilitation and sharpening. I want to show that it’s within easy reach of anyone who wants to try and doesn’t care to wait while saws take long trips to the sharpener and back. We can find many sharpening guides and tutorials online. Nearly all are very useful.
The plate itself is roughly 10″ by 1.5″, recycled from an old Disston that I cut down to make my frame saw a few years ago. My ever handy Stanley No. 36 1/2 R rule has multiple scales in 8, 10, 12, 16 parts to the inch. The 10 to the inch scale of a Stanley rule is used for marking out 5 TPI. End result? It will be perfect after I make an adjustment to either the face of the fence or to my right elbow. Oct252014 Kerfing Plane – More carving …and here’s the curvy side.
