![Telltale Plane Shaving](https://www.woodworkersjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/Plane-with-Identifying-Shaving.jpg)
When you pick up a hand plane, you probably check the blade setting before using it. I don’t. Instead, when I’m finished using a plane, I put it away with one shaving left in the throat. The next time I grab the plane, the shaving tells me exactly how the blade is set for cutting.
