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.
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?
