Terrific series, Mike! Really helpful. Looking forward to the next installment. Keep up the great work, and thank you.
The video will not play. What is the application, please?
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "application". The video is playing fine for me. Maybe it was a temporary server error.
Thank you Mike for a great, informative series. I've learned a lot of nuances and new stuff, even though I've been using hand planes for a while.
Mike, thank you for an excellent review of the various planes. I really appreciate your "a matter of fact approach". I've been watching you for years and have not submitted a comment. You deserve more.
Mike, Great series! Can you demonstrate how to adjust the frog on the #4?
Thanks to the team at Fine Woodworking for this excellent series on handplanes. Ironically, much of the information presented was not new to me, but rather a review of principles and techniques I have already learned. Where did I learn them? Mainly through articles and videos from Fine Woodworking. Kudos to the FW team for putting all this information and education together in a polished, entertaining series of videos. Please keep them coming.
