: I haven't started the stripping yet. I have two generic, basic,
: planes .. a large one and a small one. I had picked these up a
: few years back at
: a home "box store" for other work. They weren't
: advertised as low-angle planes. The larger one is actually too
: large for the kayak project.
: Should I invest in a specific plane for my kayak work?

: I am doing a B&C kit so the planes will be used for clean up and
: fitting, mostly. Anyway, I need to sharpen the planes and have
: been reading about the
: Scary Sharp method. My question is ... what do folks use for a
: sharpening jig? Is there a specific model folks recommend?

: Thx,

Lee Valley has this cheap sharpening jig you can use in the Scary Sharp method.
