A slightly more rounded plane will give a piece of furniture an interesting structure and that ‘special touch’.
In this video, internationally renowned cabinetmaker Garrett Hack from Vermont (USA) will show you how to sharpen plane blades by hand, rounding them ever so slightly. Numerous tips and tricks will help you prepare your planes ideally for a variety of different applications. For more information and products related to sharpening, please visit www.dictum.com
