There is no doubt that David Charlesworth knows more about the anatomy,preparation and use of a hand plane than almost anyone. His three videos are the most detailed presentations on the subject that I have seen. Sometimes the detail gets so involved that you might come to the conclusion that his desire to keep things simples doesn't quite reach completion. It is amazing how Charlesworth, Rodriquez, Dunbar, Conover, and others take such a different route to the same destination - a well tuned tool. I think Charlesworth would have to be considered the main guru of the hand plane world and I think any of us who do not take advantage of his expertise as shown in these videos is missing a great opportunity.
I was very impressed with the speaking ability and knowledge of Christopher Schwarz, but a little disappointed in the video. I was expecting more of a video that showed techniques of evening up glue joints, leveling rail and stile corners, etc. There are a number of videos that cover the basic sharpening and set up of the planes very well. I was just hoping to see more actual demonstrations of using planes in the process of construction. Ron
I didn't care for this video much. It was done by the Eastwood folks and was geared pretty much to car enthusiasts who do a lot of Aluminum buffing. I was interested in tool restoration and was more interested in information about technique, compounds, etc........ Ron
