So it's not solid cocobolo, but I think it turned out pretty well.

and if nothing else doing all hand work is good therapy.

TLCObsession · 05-21-2007, 01:32 PM

Sweet!

What Iron?

mike · 05-21-2007, 01:34 PM

it's 1/4" thick O1 steel. Not a major maker (actually a guy on a woodworking board made it) , but it's got absolutely 0 chatter

MD is going to drool.

Can you post up a few different angles? Is the sole different?

As I thought, very very nice. Shavings like lace.

mike · 05-21-2007, 01:44 PM

It's all about the fluffy shavings

Amanda G · 05-21-2007, 01:46 PM

What is that, a wooden tape dispenser??

Mustard Dog · 05-21-2007, 04:18 PM

Very nice

Whitewater · 05-21-2007, 04:30 PM

What does the bottom of it look like?

mike · 05-21-2007, 04:55 PM

Thanks, it's fun makin em

Bottom looks like this

Travis Waldher · 05-21-2007, 04:56 PM

I see the wedge in there to hold the blade in place.

Is there some means of controlling or limiting depth?

Kim~ · 05-21-2007, 04:58 PM

That's pretty. It would serve no purpose for me, 'cept as a really pretty paper weight...but it is gorgeous. I like pretty wood.

You use a hammer to adjust the depth on wooden planes Travis. Once you get it down it's actually a shitload faster and easier than the bailey design (there's a lot of backlash inherent in that design). To drive it deeper, you tap the front of the plane, to back it off you hit the back then tighten the wedge. I can get Norris adjusters pretty easily, but they're about $150 then I'd have to have a cap iron as well.. making it about $250 for the supplies alone.

Mustard Dog · 05-21-2007, 05:06 PM

I made a Jack plane length when I first started woodworking, right after reading Krenovs first book, (imagine that

). Only problem was that the blade I had was 2 3/8 wide, the thing looks like a Paduk clog

mike · 05-21-2007, 05:09 PM

Yea, reading Krenov will do that to ya! Making krenov style planes is like crack! Especially since I can get nice thick irons relatively easily and don't have to worry about a chipbreaker! I've got a couple more on my list that I want to make before I start to figure out how to make rounds and coves and other edge planes. Those things are hard to find, be nice to make a full set.

You know he's no longer making cabinets, but he's making and selling planes... right?

I saw that. The first one he put up on ebay went for close to two grand I believe.

I had one of the guys from Lie-Nielsen over today repairing the shipping damage on my bench, it's sweet
