A handplane is useful for much more than smoothing. In fact, Bob Van Dyke uses his No. 4 to create perfect edge joints on panel glue-ups, fix an uneven reveal around a door frame, correct gaps in mortise-and-tenon joinery, adjust miter joints, and flatten cupped, bowed, or twisted boards.

This was a GREAT webinar. Learned a ton from Bob. Do more of these "how to" events. Thanks for all the effort.

Thanks FWW for another wonderful webinar. Bob did an awesome job. Very much enjoyed it.
Obviously a big effort that is very much appreciated. Thank you Ben & Bob
Great webinar. A question... what is the "formula" or method for setting up the blocks on the sharpening jig to set the blade angles? I am currently using the veritas MK2 which has the angles set by a stop block, but I always shy away from firm contact with the metal stop. A method to set up wood stops is in my immediate future.
Set your angle using the metal stop, then use that to setup you wooden stops. This way there isn't any measuring which could allow for error to creep in.
Counterintuitive, but smart. Thanks Ben.
