How to get SILKY SMOOTH SHAVINGS from a PLANE
This is a video on how to set up a plane, not how to tune a plane! If you want to know more about sharpening, setting up, and even using a plane. Please visit my Free Online Woodworking School here: https://mattestlea.com/school/
I prefer to buy quality tools in the first place, rather than try and fix up low quality ones. Consequently, I am not 100% familiar with tuning a low quality handplane and thus do not want to pretend to be an expert on it.
This video focuses on getting the blade and chipbreaker set up in the body of the plane so that it cuts thin, clean and even shavings and bring even more enjoyment to your woodworking!

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and I’m a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this YouTube thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on YouTube and my business full-time.
Want to know more about how I crammed all this experience into such a short period of time? See my experience and qualifications here:
