Logic
My 8 year-old son was with me at the Japanese hand tool demonstration I was doing Saturday, and was doing a good job planing a piece of mahogany with one of my planes. He has figured out how to tap the blade with a hammer to advance the blade and make lateral adjustments.
He decided that the blade was advanced too far, and needed backing out. So he flipped the plane over, and tapped on the blade from the underside.
Ouch. To be fair, you can’t fault his thinking process.
Luckily, he had set the blade to take about a 0.001-0.002” shaving (that’s my boy!), so that very little of the blade was protruding, and so the damage wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Besides, I’ve been down this road before, and this won’t be nearly as hard to repair.
He does know how to back the blade out now.
