Flattening the Sole of a Hand Plan by James D. Thompson

2 of 2

In the next picture you will see that I have made some good progress, and now I am going to start using my very sharp Vixen file to remove material.

After the vixen work and several trips to the sandpaper, I have a pretty flat sole.

I consider 90% coverage with the bluing to be good enough, The sides are not perfectly flat because my sandpaper was curled. A few passes on finer paper and it will be perfect.
