Hi Alex, I know what you mean about not pressing the tool against the wood. I do that all too frequently and have to repair any dents I accidentally create. I’m having a difficult time trying to find back bent tools which help avoid this problem to a certain degree. They seem to be forever on back order.
Thanks again for a great lesson!

Beth, look for antique backbents on eBay. Set filters and notifications. eBay will email you when new “Backbent” listings are available. I have multiple filters and receive notifications every day for the tools I am looking for. There is a lot of junk, but sometimes I am able to find a very great tool.
