In a fit of urgency I blew a seemingly obscene fat stack on a Stanley/Bailey Block Plane from the ganGREENous shed this arvo.
It's ok enough...nothing flash...needs a good going over to get mirror like surfaces on the sole and blade (as expected)...
But when I'm using the thing, fresh from the packaging, the lateral movement of the blade is very easy to "accidentally adjust" while planing as the surface you rest your palm on will merrily swing side to side with just a little "steering" pressure.
This is also an issue with my modern Stanley #4 plane...a tough bit of timber will fight back and change the angle of the blade.
Am I going mental or is there something I can do about this problem...particularly with the blocky...because "by design" it seems, I'm skewing all over the place with the thing mid stroke(s).
