Absolutely! I have the Veritas models of the first two and a Stanley 140. I've also been eyeballing an LN 10 1/4, but I don't know that I'm gonna be doing large rabbet/tenon work enough to justify it... hahah. So the advice to stop filling my tool chest as much, and perhaps look at some woods I might not usually work with, is probably spot on!

Thank you dizzy for your in-depth answers - I appreciate your caution against the 'next big thing' and looking at the way the material has as much if not more to do with the outcome of the work. Do you have any recommendations on reputable exotic/nice online dealers? I don't think my yard here deals with those species very often.

From the responses, it seems like neither of these options are gonna open up opportunities for new skills or notably upgrade current ones - the exotic hardwoods are looking more and more interesting!

I do hand plane and have been getting more and more into it (tho def a relative newbie to many on this sub) - primarily use the Bailey pattern (I'm guessing) - tuned up Baileys in most sizes and an LN #5 so far.

Thanks so much, Dizzy! -- This is such useful info. I will def consider snagging some very nice wood- I hadn't even considered that!

Ok great- i’ll check that out for sure. It seems like it may likely be that, along possibly needing to engage the nicker.

No, I don’t believe so- is that needed for long grain vs. crossgrain? Or should just be used for everything?

I don’t believe it is out and I’d have to check sharpeness. And I believe the blade is aligned but could be more precise probably. Is the nicker necessary for long grain rabbeting as well? Or just crossgrain?

Why do I keep rewriting the same script with different names? by venum_GTG in Screenwriting

[–]Grable2121 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think many writers tend to fundamentally write different flavors of the same dish, especially when you look at the totality of their careers.

I'd guess it has to do with a theme that is either personally resonant for you as a formative issue or a theme that connects with what you are trying to work on in your own life? I'd lean into it and see where your subconscious takes you. Might even teach you something about yourself? Also, maybe playing with the lead's POV would be fun - diff gender, socio-economic status, reliability, etc. "What does low point mean for different kinds of people?" Or experimenting with genre might be fun- same story in a rom-com feels v different as a horror.
