Nice Tutorial, Chris.  I may have to make a plane now, to satisfy my curiosity.  Good job.

Thanks Chris! I really like the look of these planes - hopefully I will get a chance to build one in the near future.

Chris - Thanks! I agree with Waddy - it makes me want to rush out to the garage and dive into the scrap pile (although I know there's no lignum in there.)



Any pointers or experience with curved soles, along, across or uniform radius?

Jim

I made these a while ago.
The most dificult part is putting the pin for the wedge at the right place and equal each side.
Mine do not have a wedge but a screw adjustment.
For the blade, I used an old spokeshave blade (too short for the spokeshave)cut in half with a cuting disc
