I’ll have to get a pic, but I was able to get a shaving or two off some knotty oak that I could read a book through. The plane is a fifties era Record no. 4 that I found in the rusty bucket at the tools refurb shop I volunteer at. It was headed for scrap because of chips in the top of the body. It’s brilliant and I love it.

OK I apologize. This one’s from a chisel …… but it is pretty.

Paul, replacing your shavings with silk is cheating. ;-)

These shaving are impressive Paul. If I am not mistaken they came out of Shipwright made plane:)

some of my first shavings were messy but colorful.

This second batch was painfull:

The third batch was just the last weekend. I had finally gotten some free time to spend in the shop.
Sweet shavings out of a Veritas shoulder/dado plane. I had wanted one for over 5 years now. I finally purchased it. Great out of the box. Love it.
I made fine shavings and thick shavings. It just cut through.

It cleaned up the tongues pretty well too.

For some reason I see a dog in the last picture:

You are right Abbas. Here’s the first one backed away a bit.

And one more for fun.

For some reasons I remember them.
Fine shavings for sure!

Thanks Martin. Did you notice that half of the pencil line is on the shaving?

Here are mine. Not beautiful but practical. My wife and take these little jewels with us when we go to cabins in State Parks, to use as fire starter.

Oh boy, that looks like a fire hazard in that drawer.

Putting a rabbet onto picture frame material, (red oak), to allow for glass. This was my first real use of this flea market find. Works fantastic! It’s razor sharp, the only way to cut such a hard piece of stock. The shavings are tiny.
