When Someone Asks How Do You Hold a Plane...

...You Will Say

Some say this way is correct. It's the only way...

...Then you will say but I have been taught that this is a better way...

...and then this way, now this, and this, and this, and this, and this.......

But when the wood takes me in a different mood I can adopt this hand position for my back hand in a punch position and as my mood changes I think then this one.

Oh, on yew I do this mostly and on walnut this one works really well.

Experience tells me to adopt this and shun that then someone says shun this and not that but I choose for myself because that's the wonderful thing about being a craftsman and a craftswoman is I can pick from multiple options because I have perfected my planing skills.

So now the argument ends. Do what seems right in the zone, in the moment in your workshop at your workbench on your wood. Please yourself!
