re: Getting started
That’s going to be a great addition to your shop. Ash is very hard and will wear well. What will you attach it to?
I recently bought a #7 on eBay. Bought some diamond sharpening plates and a honing leather board and a Veritas Mk II honing guide from Leevalley.com. I noticed that the edges or the boards weren’t square. Then I realized my blade wasn’t in straight. Now it plans perfectly.
I noticed that some people here don’t care much for hand planes. It’s a lot faster than setting up a jointer if you only have a few boards. I enjoy using them.
