easy wood projects - That New Plane

Finally Christmas in September. Several days ago upon the arrival of my new Lie-Nielsen No. 62 Low Angle Jack Plane, I realised something very important. I am addicted to woodworking and Im fueling my addiction with tools and timber.

Some recent holiday work making apple boxes helped me gather the funds to buy the plane which is based on the original Stanely No. 62. I had realised that the plane was almost an essential in my tool kit after being loaned one on a semi-permanent basis by an extremely generous fellow woodworker.

Although the Lie-Nielsen No. 62 is of the finest craftsmanship some tinkering was needed before I could take that first shaving. First I spent some time flatting the back of the blade (which is made from A-2 Cryogenically Treated Tool Steel) on a #1000 and then #6000 grit water stone. Then I honed the existing bevel until the blade was shaving the hairs on my forearm. (Warning: Do not try this at home).
