>Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and your plane making anniversary. (Ellen and I were also married on June 6, but 12 years ago.) If I am reckoning right, you must have started making planes right about the same time I started getting into woodworking and reading Badger Pond.

>Congrats, Steve!

I guess that you started making planes about a year before I started following hand tool discussions online at the old BP. I thought that you had been making them forever.

Sorry about your UPS loss. I have had many, many packages left on my porch, but have lost none (knock on wood).

Nineteen years, eh? You had better plan a big celebration with SWMBO next year!

Re: Veneer trimming

Barry Va Beach

>Steve congrats on both anniversaries. I am the proud owner of a Knight 2000 smoother which for last year or so is my dedicated veneer jointer. To joint the edges, I put two pieces of veneer between two wooden straight edges and then plane them till flush. With my metal planes, I had problems with the nose of the plane breaking off chips of veneer and also you have to use a little downward pressure to get it to cut so eventually the plane cut into the wooden straight edges. What makes the Knight smoother work so great that it is just the right weight - I hold it with a thumb and finger on opposing sides at the rear and just slide it forward - it rides right on the veneer and with no downward pressure it trims with each pass and when it reaches the level of the hardwood edges it stops cutting. The Knight smoother just rides on top with a gentle push and does this job beautifully. Keep up the good work.

>Steve,

Echo'ing the congrats of others. I've been a better woodworker using your planes. Looking forward to whatever innovations you add in the years to come.

Your attention to detail and ever lasting quest to improve your product will keep you in the plane making business for a long long time.

I always enjoy reading your posts and have a great deal of respect for your knowledge on sharpening and planes.

>I am the proud owner of one of the first Steve Knight planes ever made. I have both the regular and the low angle smoothers of that time period and they are still working today as well as they did then. These were my first woodie planes and Steve taught me about using them, blade sharpening, adjusting etc. Thanks Steve!!!!
