HANDTOOLS: a crispy Stanley #4
#8
I've got all kinds of bench planes stacking up, but my bride has got me busy with some cherry bathroom vanities.  Stole some time last night and tuned up a nice #4.  Japanning is 98%, plenty of iron, I reset the bevel on the Tormek and gave it a quick sharpening and get the following results, more attention to the iron will improve performance.  Mechanically 100%, no cracking of metal, etc., rosewood tote and knob are solid and very nice, good mouth as well, pics tell the tale.........

I can't see the pictures, and can't figure out how to show them. Am I doing something wrong or what is the trick. I am starting to get the hang of the new forum which seems nice but can't see any pictures.

I was able to see them yesterday, but suddenly I can't see them today.

If you are going down a river at 2 mph and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to shingle your roof?
