I did some of this sharpening to my chisel set when I bought it. They cut cross grain cleanly, so that is pretty good. Next time I'll use this guys microbevel idea. https://www.fine-tools.com/pdf/sharpening-chisel-and-plane-blades.pdf

Feel tempted to get a bench and some tools and create something. Measure twice, cut once is good advice, advice my Dad never took. He could make very nice things but always too impatient and always something a tad skew whiff

Need to make bookcases—in lounge and in the kitchen (brew books can go there perhaps.)

As well, need a display cabinet for my antiques. Keep them under glass or dust will quickly cover them and in dusting breakages can happen. Likely buy that—need lots of glass.

Then I want to split the laundry into two: a walk in pantry and a still room. Not for distilling but to let things that happen slowly happen out of the main kitchen. Making jellies, sauerkraut etc.

Sorry, no. In all honesty, new stuff from a shop/net is probably better and cheaper. Things like bookcases etc.

Bought a few cheap small planes a while ago.
At that price ($25 and $12) I give it a whirl.
All new planes need 'tuning up'. I did that and they work quite well. Surprisingly well, I'm pretty good at sharpening my Japanese knives though.
Tool steel hardness as about as hard as Japanese kitchen knives. Need special sharpening equipment.

Recently I resharpened and used my planes more, was very impressed by them.
They give a flat smooth polished surface. No need to sand after. Plane it and varnish it

Just bought a #4 Spear and Jackson plane online. From the US. American made stuff is good (except their cars).
