Re: My Hand Planes
lol, honestly, that was probably one of the easiest planes Ive made in a while really. The cleanup of the bronze really didnt take all but an hour, and because of brazing it together rather than dovetailing, that cut out probably 4-5 hours of machining and all of the file work. Because I didnt try c...

Re: My Hand Planes
And a bit of an action shot, I think everyone likes those :P I was just using it on a small piece of pine that was full of knots, but it just cut right through them like nothing and left a glass smooth suface with no tearout. 20240514_120320.jpg 20240514_120340.jpg That's all for now, and yea, just ...

Re: My Hand Planes
The mouth was just open enough with the blade protruding through that you could fit a piece of paper folded up through it, so just enough room for shavings to go through when the blade was where I wanted it. After that, I started on infill, which I used a piece of cherry firewood I had here that has...

Re: My Hand Planes
Well, I got bored and was out in the shed and forging some things out the one day and was looking at the one piece of offcut pipe, it was around 1 1/4" long, 4" OD pipe, around 3/16" wall thickness, and I was looking at it and thought "I wonder if I could make a plane out of that...

Re: cataracts
good to hear that you got that fixed, finding the golf ball is defenitely a problem for sure, lol. When you go back in, tell him you need a tune up and oil change while he's at it. I was wondering how things were going there, havnt seen you on here in a while.

Re: My Hand Planes
lol, just outside of frame of the pic, there's a box of 6 or 7 altoids tins still in the plastic, lol. When I go places, I get car sick usually, so to keep my stomache settled for the car ride, I usually am sucking on some altoids, hence why I always have a pack in my pocket when I meet you guys at ...

Re: My Hand Planes
thanks guys, and probably not that I have them in steel. The one coming up will be in bronze tho, which Ive been putting off patterns for, so it may be a little while, lol. Right now, my casting stuff has gotten half buried again, so I just try to make the stuff in other ways for now, like forging, ...

Re: My Hand Planes
Well, the carving/spoon planes that I was making the chisels to do, I was sitting there looking at the screen the one day and it occurred to me that it would be easier to just hammer those out than to try to make the patterns and cast it out, lol. Screenshot at 2024-04-20 00-34-33.png I was wanting ...
