Re: Me too

good to hear from you Lyn

I cannot help asking if you plan on publishing or continuing your plane research over here. I have heard you were into Phase Two - High Angles. How's it going?

Made the Jump

I guess I might as well do this sooner rather than later. I hope all of the group makes it over and thanks to our new hosts for providing those of us who have been displaced from what was a very enjoyable, friendly and just a great place to hang out. I'm sure this will be every bit as enjoyable and maybe we'll pick up some new converts in the move.

Thanks again and I look forward to participating and seeing all of the folks from the Pond.

Hi Tom,

The methodology of the new study has made it rather time consuming. For those who don't know, each individual evaluation is repeated three times. Once with me planing and me evaluating, once with me planing and a friend evaluating blind, and once with my friend planing and me evaluating blind. I then take the average of the two evaluations which are closest to each other. I do this for every plane type, at every angle available, for a least two samples of over 15 different woods (actually more, but I may drop some). The results still won't be perfect, but I hope folks will be able to put some confidence in them as being objective and representative.

I'm shooting for April to have the write up completed on the Angle study. I also will have two comparisons, one involving something new and not a smoother, ready in March. The articles will be posted at Roger Nixon's Traditional Tools site, which is presently hosting the old study, but hopefully discussion will be take place over here as well.

I'm looking forward to becoming more involved again, both at Roger's and here at Wood Central.

where?

I gotta ask where Roger's site is because Google let me down and he apparantly is not in the BP member website section and I have never been there and I want to go!

Re: where?

www.traditionaltools.com

I didn't think of that...

Now we have a whole new group of power tool users to enlighten. This ought to be great fun.
