Hand Tool Q&A Live: Plywood and Moulding Planes
Live Hand Tool Q&A
I truly enjoy this open Q&A sessions because they keep me on my toes with the wide variety of questions I get. Just to reiterate one point in the video, I will be making an effort to shorten these sessions a bit as an hour plus long video is hard to digest for anyone. Moreover the longer format makes it hard to reference the topics covered in the future. My goal remains to answer questions thoroughly and not to speed things up. I just won’t be able to field as many questions per session.
Lots of topics covered in this session but I spend the most time on setting the plane mouth, working with plywood, and discussing hollows & rounds vs complex profile moulding planes.
