More Window Sill Planing





Using the smoothing plane, at a slight skew, look at those curly shavings.

1st. Video Bay Window Planing

Bay window sill



So today was a good day. I planed down a bay window with all my planes. Used my smoother, jack, shoulder/rabbet, and my block. I will have some video of this soon.

Side note, it has been a few days and there is no rust on any of my planes. Also, the soles of them all are extra smooth. I used to use candle wax/bees wax. Johnson's paste wax is what I will be using from now on.

Cheers
