Watching your videos are both valuable and entertaining. Thank you.

I just heard about David's passing today. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, he changed my life forever through his books and DVDs. RIP Mr. Charlesworth.

Very useful video and great introduction to your YouTube channel - I love your deliberate, careful and organised approach to everything

Thank you Sir.🎉

Good

David, what is the material you positioned over the adjusting lever prior to placing the blade into the plane?

Glad to see you on You-Tube.

Hi
I was wondering how they were making the edge of the iron straight without having a known straight surface like a diamond plate. I'm having trouble making the edge of an old iron square, I just have a water stone and a flat granit reference with sand paper, and I fail making the edge both straight and square. I also fail to make the cap iron flat enough so that it meets the iron, because I'm always making it convex instead of flat. Do you think you could help me ?

ive always put pressure on the push stroke when im sharpening my chisels/planes, opposite to what you do here, am i doing it 'incorrectly' or...?

Hi David, What's the function of the red paper over the blade adjustment lever we see here at 6:50? Or is this something you explain in more detail in this DVD? Cheers!

Where can I buy one of those Odate Dressing Plates?

Lovely calm collected video David. Would you indulge a slightly off topic question. I'm really impressed by the almost mirror finish on both the sides and bottom of the sole plate of your plane. Did it come like that or did you have to work on it to achieve it?

6:25 Why David, you’re human like the rest of us.

David,
When you place the chip breaker as close to the edge as you mentioned for reversing grain (.004), do you find that the front edge of chip breaker enters the area of the back-bevel (created by the ruler trick), thus creating an opportunity for trapping chips?  

Thank you for your ongoing contributions to the community.  Your manner of thinking about tools and process process, which I would describe as disciplined and evidence-driven (i.e.
Charlesworth "Check your work"). It is valuable lesson no matter your career or area of expertise.

This man taaaaaakes his tiiiiiiiime.....

Nice phone... :D

David, what is your advice for edge jointing? Does the cambered blade works i this case or i need a straight sharp blade? Thank you very much

No matter how hard I try, I cannot get iron sharp enough to shave hair  using ruler trick.
Method I use:
grinder to get primary 25deg bevel. No problem.
Japanese water stone 800, 1200 by hand. No problem
8000 stone no problem
Remove burr ruler trick. Ok
Shave arm hair. Never.
Driving me crazy.
I also use a Veritas honing guide. Same result. Bhaaaa

With all due respect to Mr. Charlesworth, this is too technical for my liking.
