I agree wholeheartedly with Tico's sentiment from above but I will also add that a heavy shooting board plane with a super sharp blade makes holding the plane in balance much, much easier. <br /><br />The only question that I would have is why, oh why if you are using Tico's shooting board don't you also have Tico's band with the music. This is called symmetry. :o)FredWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768316753299654684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799583606852363956.post-75163445844950066222012-10-16T11:08:08.125-04:002012-10-16T11:08:08.125-04:00For folks who don't have much experience using...For folks who don't have much experience using shooting board-type planes, one of the key aspects to controlled use is how your hand lays on the tool and distributes pressure. It is a balance between sideways force, keeping the sole tightly registered against the side of the board, and forward thrust, which has to deal with some resistance to rocking, even allowing for the purposely wide plane body.<br /><br />The way Ron has positioned the knob allows you to capture it in the web of your thumb. The other fingers can direct pressure on the lever cap. This is a perfect set up for the efficient and comfortable use of the hand.Tico Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743565097341810389noreply@blogger.com
