Published 23 Apr 2020So you think you can sharpen your plane every few days. I wanted to dispel that mystery.
Planes need sharpening according to how much energy you need to make it cut. Experience has shown me that most woodworkers push their planes to the very limits of dullness. It’s a pure uneconomic waste of energy. I put this together to say Sharpen Up!
To find out more about sharpening a plane, see our video on Woodworking Masterclasses: https://bit.ly/2yGhyfq or for a beginner friendly guide, see Common Woodworking: https://bit.ly/2x6xeIM

Oh my! I forgot to mention that I’m planing Texas MESQUITE! Almost two times harder and more densely grained than oak!
