wortheffort | Tune a Wood Plane to be Better than Iron @wortheffort | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 minutes ago.
What's better for a smoothing plane. Iron or Wood. Both are the most persnickety tools in your hand plane arsenal.

I prefer a wood hand plane for smoothing due to it's tuneability. You can do things in wood that are hard to accomplish in iron that affect that tactile nature of it's use. In this video I show you how to "tune" a Krenov style wooden hand plane to improve it's feel and performance. Same techniques can be use on other styles of wooden hand planes.

Lots of tips and tricks to help improve your odds of success.
