Dedicated Moulding Plane(s)

Once I set up a tool and get it perfect it goes in a box and out the door.

There are times when the last part of this process is harder than others. Sometimes I really have a hard time putting the plane in the box. 

I posted a few commentaries regarding spring angles for dedicated planes last week. The first is here, and addendum is here.

We settled on the final plane and I completed sharpening it today. It will ship tomorrow.

What's different about this time? Well, every time I make one of these dedicated planes I half-heartedly wish the customer backs out and I get to keep it. This plane had my attention once it was decided that we're springing the plane. The profile will fit well into my various presentations. I liked the profile a lot so I cut the line/back log and made one for myself.



Come check it out at Handworks in May. 

Here are a couple more that I recently made.

"Get 'em ready, put 'em in a box. Repeat."


"Oh, the plane is working great! Just as I like it. Put it in a box. Repeat."



Try to guess what this scraping plane I recently made will specifically be used for. Hint: the answer is in the picture.

  3. Love your blog, book and dvd.
    Thank you for that.
    FYI...
    Lead is toxic and the fastest entry point for lead poisoning is lead vapor or smoke.
    And handling without protective gloves is very unwise.

    Please use caution.
