You know how to get a guy derailed don't you? I had never thought of that...until you brought up, thanks alot

. I have/use several metal ones, and have some good irons. It seems doable in wood (google image search picture below). I will name my first one Corndog

I did not mean derailed the thread, I would not care if you did I welcome it, I meant my train of thought (easy enough, I ride in narrow tracks

). I had another plane in mind as a next project, your comment just headed me in another direction. I guess I should have said "Way to go, another one to figure out"...I am still naming it Corndog

I guess I do now. My first attempt. Very old steel, super sharp. I wanted it to be all wood so I used a wedge like in my box planes. It holds the iron firmly, but I bet it is a chip catcher if you are using the full width of the blade (2 1/4"). I did do some round over with it and it worked without clogging. I may try something more elaborate later.

I will not post another plane for a month probably, I have real work I have been putting off (unhappy customers soon if I don't get busy

)

Hey those are slick Daren

How far are you from Collinsville?
Have you attended the woodworking show there?

I've been up there twice now.

Joe Lyddon · 10-31-2007, 09:12 PM

Daren,

W O W !!

very cool project, and beautiful work. are the plane blades adjustable to different depths? the only planes i've seen/worked with have little knobs that allow you to raise/lower the blade.

i don't have any planes but should probably get/make some

any tips?

Great project Daren. The plane looks super! I've had the urge to make some planes too, but havne't gotten around to it yet.

The wooden wedge holds the iron in place/depth. It takes a little practice to get them set right, but not too much. If you think about the geometry of the things you can see how the wedge would hold it fast. The pressure on the iron is more back as you push (or pull in a Japanese plane) than up.

Speaking of Japanese style planes, that is what I am into right now. I quit posting pictures in this thread because it seemed of little interest to anyone. There are more pictures in my gallery.
