Mine is a tiny little thing at 5 feet. I'm now hoping to re-arrange my shop and I've got some ideas for how to mount my tools on the wall that will give me more space. I wish that I had made it just a foot longer. Since my wood stretcher doesn't work these days, I'll have to make do for now. My NEXT bench, now... Andrew who also really enjoyed your video on flattening and dimensioning stock. One of these days I'm going to try narrowing a board by attacking it with my Portuguese boat-building adze I got as a Christmas surprise. Now THAT should be worth a video to see me fail spectacularly. :-) Keep it as long as you can. Mine is a tiny little thing at 5 feet.

I move on to the Jointer and smoother later. I have the 38 degree blade in my smoother and it works like a dream but is significantly harder to push. Perhaps, you could grind a blade to 30 with a 2-3 degree microbevel to get an inclusive 45 degree as a compromise. Then again probably more effort than is needed when you can just buy the 38 and go with York pitch. Make sure you tighten up the mouth though or you will still get tearout.

I have the same one with a 25 degree bevel angle and though it's great for shooting, I find I get a lot of tearout when I'm flattening or using it as a smoother. I plan on buying a 38 degree blade and just wondered if you had it and what your thought are on it. Hi Shannon,

I'm knee deep in wood shavings as I am almost finished with my first bench. So I know how you feel. Keep the pictures coming. It looks great!
