I sure do! For years I used an old Stanley block plane and thought it was the worst invention in the world. Instead of shavings, it would often emit large chips. I quickly learned that it was always safer NOT to use it on an important project. Then one day I visited a friend&#8217;s shop and had an opportunity to try out his new block plane. Fortunately, my friend knew the value of sharpening and the planing experience was pure pleasure. At first I thought it was the plane itself but in reality, it was the blade doing all the work. From then on, I knew that finely-honed blades were going to be a constant in my shop. I did some research on sharpening techniques, bought some water stones and a honing guide, and the rest is history. <\/p>\n<p>While I don&#8217;t particularly enjoy the sharpening process, I don&#8217;t hate it either. I usually reserve it for those few days between projects when I&#8217;m in the mode of shop cleanup and maintenance. Knowing how powerful the results will be makes the entire effort worth it, so I don&#8217;t begrudge the process.
