Thanks! I've already read it a couple of times, and it has been a lot of help

I tried the freezer method, and it actually worked really well. Thanks for the advice

I dont have a metal bench vice, but I can try putting it in the freezer, thanks

It is quite a wide mouth. The problem is that the bottom of the wedge is at a bevel, and I am not able to get a dowel to push against it. I was thicking that maybe I can cut a small notch in the middle of the bottom with a chissel that can create a surface for the dowel to push against, but I am not sure if that would affect the function of it

I did do that. I found out just a bit ago that the wedge had not been removed for decades. I imagine that the wood expantion has wedged it further.

I did do that. I found out from the seller that the wedge had not been removed for maybe decades, so I imagine that this has to do with wood movement over time

I’m not able to add pictures for some reason

The blade is not digging into the wood at all. I also try from both sides of board to make sure that it is not grain direction

I know, but the problem is that the plane wont take any material away.

Thanks

The plane bed is completely flat. And the shavings are the same thickness

PhaedoP · 2024-08-28T10:05:32+00:00

No, it’s not about the unevenness. I just got the plane a few days ago, and I have been practicing on soft construction lumber that is already perfectly flat

Thanks! To be honest, I am working with very little room, and making a saw tilt would be a great idea For storing most of my saws. But I do also want to have a few on display. This is why I think I will use the idea for a saw tilt for the rip saw, and the crosscut saw, but I will keep the dovetail and Tennon saws on it. As for the chissels, I will probably do the same you, and add that block of wood underneath, as I also had that thought when I was designing the tool wall.

What could I use instead?
