Friends: 

I've had a little illness in my house this week and I haven't been able to get a video out. But my Patrons should always get something good, so I've done the first in a series (hopefully) of AMA videos. I just tackled a few questions here, so if I didn't get to yours, that will happen. 

These videos are time-consuming to make, so if you like it, please let me know. I need people to actually watch and enjoy these if I'm going to keep making them. 

Happy December!

An exclusive video for my Patrons.

Nice questions. Here's one I have. I only own one bench plane; a cheap unbranded one my father originally bought back in the 1970s. It has a different adjustment system like this Stanley 12-404 has. <a href="https://goo.gl/uTJwDe" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/uTJwDe</a> I have a great deal of trouble adjusting it; not so much for depth but for side-to-side blade angle. This makes it difficult to plane a board edge square and difficult to plane a board face without leaving grooves. While there are many videos on adjusting and tuning planes, I haven't found one on this type of adjuster. Any chance you could talk about this?

Steve: I've been thinking about getting one of these planes and fixing it's terrible adjuster by converting the plane to hammer-adjust. Does that interest you?

Steve Crane

Yes, I'd definitely be interested in that. I plan to buy another plane anyway so if I totally destroy this one following your video, that's okay.

Matthew Leigh

I really liked it! I think it's definitely worth doing more if you get enough good questions

Jim Williams

Thank you for answering my silly question! :) I half expected you to ignore it. The other half of me expected you to say that you use a spokeshave. :)

New patron here, I definitely enjoyed it!
