I'm in the workshop, the plane in the left hand, the camera in the right hand, trying to make a pic. I guess that will lead to deductions in the rating. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523923067078512976.post-47344096987748745782017-02-02T08:20:37.285+01:002017-02-02T08:20:37.285+01:00Well, then it seems I'm a hand tool woodworker...Well, then it seems I'm a hand tool woodworker.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523923067078512976.post-27705910554810499082017-02-02T08:11:51.472+01:002017-02-02T08:11:51.472+01:00Hi Jonas,

Add one more....
Be careful out there......Stefan,<br /><br />Add one more....<br /><br />Be careful out there...hear! First it is chisels, then planes, wood stock and metal, followed by marking gauges and before you know what happened you end up on the "hard stuff", molding planes, and it is a never ending jones :-). Every corner of your shop has planes and there is no room to work but you want more. It ain't pretty.<br /><I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523923067078512976.post-36472223549277227322017-02-01T15:31:28.818+01:002017-02-01T15:31:28.818+01:00"Start planing at the front left of the board..."Start planing at the front left of the board and work backwards (assuming you are right handed).
