Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from thibaultron in Hobby Knife Preference?
this was covered few days ago in the same section:
Photo of a test showing how a knife can cut:
If you compare the results, you can clearly see how a standard exacto blade is not performing very well, in fact that blade got the worst results!
Understanding what bis a good hobby knife is not as easy as we could thing

Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from Phil Babb in chisels
If so, please forgive me, my first language is french, sometimes, it is difficult to fully understand some posts.
Micro bevels for me is a myth created thinking that you would save time in sharpening!

Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from HB17 in 74-gun ship by Gaetan Bordeleau - 1:24
For the last 2 months, I did try to participate a lot more in some of other parts of the forum like tools and wood. What is surprising me the most is how fast some peoples can answer without reading the other postings of the same subject. I will stop here. While this time, I also continued to build. Next, the inside work will be behind the wheel from the first deck upward.

I think there are more important aspects of a knife:
- different blade shapes
- sharpening: water stone, truing stone, leather strop
- type of steel
-detail knife fabrication
-testing different blade shapes
-sharpening test
- buffering
- hand sharpening
- knife handle
Vossiewulf and I discussed these subjects in my building post of the scratch building section, p. 29:
I did regroups the post in 1 .pdf file. May be it could be interest for some peoples.

Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from Andrea Rossato in chisels
I tried a lot of different knives and 2 categories are very interesting:
For the lathe and the mill, there is no need at the beginning. A metal lathe can do everything a wood lathe can do, so it is a waste to buy a wood lathe

far from perfect, but thank you Jorge
I will try to upload a .pdf file. I do not know if it will work.
I have assembled the content of this log from page 15 to 20 in a .pdf file, but only parts about about my search about knife, blade and sharpening. May be it could interest somebody. Anyway, I did enjoy doing this search with the help of Vossiewolf.
