memory jog on sharpening issue required

>A while ago (I've tried and failed to search the archives) someone had a nasty problem.

They were getting an undesired camber when sharpening a plane blade.

After a few days of diagnosis it transpired that the (normally) flat blade was being warped during the sharpening process by the clamping pressure of the jig, which is not the moswt obvious cause of a camber.

Wonderful saga of thoughtful diagnosis, IMHO.

Can anyone remember this and find it in the archives for me?

>Hmm, interesting. I feel a version something or other LV jig coming on. One would have to get the edges pressed down, wouldn't one?

>Dang it, I was looking in the archive; that post is recent enough that I should have been searching in "current" posts.

I *do* wish search worked across all posts!
