As for bench polishing then an ordinary bench grinder, guards removed and fitted with polishing mops will do the job, that's what I have.Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare

I looked at the Kunz 112 which is the cheapest but it had bad reviews so I went middle ground and I'm very pleased with the Luban, very well made.

Scraper planes when properly set up do not tear out and they leave a finish equivalent to fine sanding, how fine I shall find out and maybe I won't need any 300 grade either.
Merry xmas to all on the forum. I am having a good one so far, sold my Honda X4 for £3000 last week, sold a cue today, things are looking up.Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare

I'll still use a 300 grade and 0000 steel wool for the final finish but when planing really hard timber like ipe or ekki and the flaky wenge this will mean a lot less sanding from 1/0.5mm oversize for fear of tear out.

Have the Stanley scraper..like a big spoke shave and understand how good they are.
Having been an Antique furniture restorer for over 30 year's but understand why you've got the plane now.
To get a finger finish with it, it helps to use the finished stone you have before you turn the edge.
I use a very fine ceramic stone when i want a really good finish and for to hear things are looking up.

Because he had just moved he didn't have it with him but I wondered if any of you guys had ever sharpened using a slate; not one I had heard of before.
For those of you on Facebook, here's a couple of links to him doing things (you'll have to scroll through the pics / Videos on each as not sure how to post the direct post Facebook links here:
