Wow...Fantastic..Your first ? Common now you gotta have some experience to be that good...Do you hone your blades to keep them sharp ? Or how do you get them to hold an edge ? Change them every few ft ..
I have a hone that I swipe my blades on every few cuts. You can actually see it in the pic of the little red IU and penny.. It also works as a great little weight for whatever..
Thanks for the compliments. This is my 1st. I couldn't imagine doing a plane without my computer, printer and a graphics program. It allows me to make mirrored images to glue right to the back of the Ultracote.. I still have to cut them out by hand, but I can't see spending a bunch of money on a vinyl cutter or plotter. I'm just a beginner so there are many small imperfections that bug me, but not enought to spend the cash on a plotter.
