Okay, so I have been slowly growing my fine handtool collection - partially because I enjoy the satisfaction that handworking wood gives me and partially because I have very young children that can't nap through power tools running in the basement! :eusa_naug
Anyway, on to my questions. First, I have the Lie Nielsen Large Scraper Plane. It is a beautiful tool, but I cannot seem to get good results from it. I have a feeling that I do not have it set up properly and I have not put a burr on it (mostly becuase I am not sure how to do it right). So any help or suggestions on using this tool properly would be appreciated! :help:
And that brings me to my second question. Since I am pretty much teaching myself hand plane and hand tool use as I go, I am sure I am not getting the most out of my tools. Does anyone know of a good book, DVD, or even live course instruction that would benefit me? :dontknow:
Thanks,
Tim
