I've got a Shepherd smoother and am having a heck of a time getting
acceptable performance out of it.

Did you build it, or did Shepherd or another builder? Is this the #7
Spiers or the A6 Norris?

If the Spiers, are you successful at getting the iron adjusted for a
small enough shaving? On the Shepherd shoulder plane I just built, I
find that adjusting the iron is pretty tricky (but it is wedged). Is
the mouth small enough?

I have the Spiers kit waiting for me to set aside the time to build
it, so I will be watching this with interest.
