Over the next however long period of time. I intend to get the unicorn stuff back up, but I’ll spare everyone adding each page as a blog post and just do it in the background.
I’ll perhaps be a little more visible with a comprehensive discussion of the double iron, planing and plane setups, but that’s also intended to be a permanent fixture and not just a stream of blog posts.
It’s not so much that I think the unicorn method is that important for most people, but rather that information in it will be helpful everywhere. Not just “following the method for a chisel”.
I know you’ve talked about these subjects a lot, but I never tire of them because you’re always adding little tidbits you keep discovering along the way. Looking forward to what’s to come and this information becoming more permanently available in one place that you control, thanks as always!

Thanks for the thoughts, Jonathan. It may be boring, but I think as we get better at things, we do repeat a lot – every day isn’t something we just sort of master a little and move on. I’d like to compile a listing of references to free historical texts, too, as the more we learn across things, the more we find out that what’s out there historically is far better than what’s been published in the last 20 or even 75 years. At least if we’re talking about hand tools. There’s not much of that around – pointing to really good historical sources that are public domain – because there isn’t any money to be made from it. Imagine someone referring to a 1912 book about varnish making and trying to tie in an amazon revenue reference link to it!

That would be a great resource! The older the better in a lot of ways, the motivations from back then seem to be much more trustworthy in general. It’s so arduous picking through the mounds of BS developed over the last half century.
