Frank's Workbench

This scrap of wood never comes off my bench for a few reasons!

A little scrap of wood 10" long or so makes a great reusable notepad that can be instantly erased for each project with a few swipes of the plane.

After sharpening a hand plane iron, I take a few swipes on the edge of the scrap to see if I am getting the same thickness of shaving on the left vs right side of the plane. If one side is a heavy shaving and the other is thin, the iron is skewed and can easily be adjusted.

Most important for a FIRST workbench??

About to start working on the next project, curious to hear from you... especially if you are new to woodworking. Which factor is most important to control?

8 months after being posted, this video is on track for its most views in a single day.. Pretty cool.

Here is a pic of me and the recipient (my sister) the box was a gift on her way to college. If her freshman year is anything like mine was, she'll be needing a replacement.

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/sUXF-HV3L_U
