Hi, this time, I must admit that the short video was not enough to understand the way you do it.
It became clear in the long video.
Interesting but the hand plane would be for me the way to go, I always prefer making chips than saw dust and noise

Hey, you don't have to convince me. Unfortunately, especially in these times, hand planes are little more than old trinkets that adorn the walls of those that live by power tools alone. I won't pretend I'm not one of those people, but I'm starting to, slowly, get to know the deeper passion with hand tools. This is a method that works for those that aren't in the know.

Thanks for commenting and yes, shorts videos are extremely limited. Some people just show the tip being used, I try to be much more in depth to try to explain the method or reasoning behind the tip which is why I normally fill up :59 seconds almost exactly every time (and I usually trim out a few sentences!).
