: This is turning into a great set of videos!

I'm glad you are finding them helpful.

: The other thing I noticed is that you
: removed the entire strip each time you went to bevel the edge. I
: loosely clamped a strip just so it could be slid fore and aft.

I find that part of doing a precise job is to use your tools in a comfortable position. While taking down the strips completely can get awkward with the long-narrow-thin strips I'm using, it is made up for by being able to hold the plane in a comfortable, natural position. I can see what I'm doing without having to bend over and can work quite quickly.

: Is that fine music playing in your shop too?

I have Pandora providing me an eclectic mix. I'm using my CD collection as a source for the videos. My apologies to the copyright holders.
