Later today, I should receive the honing guide and diamond sharpening stone, but in the meantime BPost delivered this : Attachment : IMG_20211015_143137145.jpg Unfortunately , it has the wrong...

@koendb Thats the one make sure you have the blade securely held

Make sure to buy one that’s wide enough for your biggest blade and has a wide roller on the bottom to keep you from tipping. @mattbeels I just bought these: and this: Hopefully they will do the tri...

Yes @koendb, that roller thingie is a honing guide and they are essential unless you’re really good at doing it by hand. Make sure to buy one that’s wide enough for your biggest blade and has a wide r...

Do you know how to turn an edge on the scrapers ? There will be lots of utube videos if you don’t. @Rocknroller912 Yeah I have seen a lot of youtube videos on the subject already. I just need to do i...

@koendb You have the same block plane as me with adjustable mouth which is great for avoiding tear out. A sharpening roller guide for holding the blade and getting the angle correct is essential in my...

Do you have any particular brand names or a collection of older ones. @rocknroller912 No big brands, I have 4 chisels from Kreators, a block plane and a #4 plane from HBM, a dutch hardware store. A s...

@koendb You need good quality to start with. It’s impossible to get an edge on soft metal. Do you have any particular brand names or a collection of older ones.

You won’t be surprised if I say that Mark has a video on it I know! I have seen that one, must watch it again though 🙂

@koendb You won’t be surprised if I say that Mark has a video on it

@darrenking Oops you can tell I didn’t do metalwork at school. I should know the difference though and you were correct. Learning the correct way to sharpen the blade was a game changer.

until I took advice from @darrenking who advised it should be a turned edge like a hand held scraper and not sharpened like an ordinary plane blade. I I don't even know how to sharpen an ordinary pla...

all brass construction Don't under sell it @Rocknroller912, it's made of bronze! Cheers Darren

@koendb This is a photo of the scraper plane I use. It’s an expensive model as I chose an all brass construction to avoid rust problems due to not having any heating in my work area.I struggled with g...

Planing by hand is tricky as one deep tear out can ruin a piece. I mostly use a scraper plane for thicknessing which takes longer but doesn’t tear. @rocknroller912 Thanks for sharing your experience!...

@koendb I hope your build goes well. Planing by hand is tricky as one deep tear out can ruin a piece. I mostly use a scraper plane for thicknessing which takes longer but doesn’t tear.

Wait.. What.. I thought I was supposed to build a guitar. 🤔 😋 @koendb I could really confuse you by saying “You are now cooking with gas” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now you are cooking. Wait.. What.. I thought I was supposed to build a guitar. 🤔 😋

Received these today ! Thanks Carol and Mark. Now it cant go wrong @koendb Now you are cooking. Good luck. 👍

@koendb, good luck with the build - but you dont need it with the Guitar Making apron in your possession 😋 . Building an acoustic is something I would love to do - I feel that i'll need to ...
