In Response To: Tools: Plane sharpening (Andrew T)

Lots of good advice here; one other thing - once you get your tools sharp keep them that way. A sharp tool wears at a much slower rate than when the same tool is blunted. Over-suing a blunt tool means you have to remove more material to get it sharp again which means more work and shorter tool life.
