Obviously I had no idea.......;)<BR/>Thanks Chris-I want to get more H+R's done first before I get into deeper waters. The iron was pretty straightforward-I shaped the sole then scribed it onto the iron. It is easy to tweak a perfect match, little by little. I also feathered the edges away slightly on the outside.<BR/>Mike-you're too kind! Making the side float was fun-almost like making a baby rip saw. I used 3/16 stock-it took a while to file those teeth ;) How do you do this all day??<BR/>Cheers<BR/>PhilPhillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053965967319875654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15320699.post-1153150956142651132006-07-17T15:42:00.000+00:002006-07-17T15:42:00.000+00:00Hi Phil--the pair look really great.Chris, the iro...Hi Phil--the pair look really great.<BR/><BR/>Chris, the iron needed is actually the mirro of the one used in the profile. Makers use to create such a plane, called a "mother" which was used to shape the soles of the planes for sale. They are rare to find in good condition.<BR/><BR/>Could always make a scratch stock, though. Or make a few more hollows and rounds. With a few more sizes of H&Rs and a shoulder plane, one can create about any moulding plane profile...<BR/><BR/>Take care, MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15320699.post-1153149174126702282006-07-17T15:12:00.000+00:002006-07-17T15:12:00.000+00:00Phil,Thos planes look really very nice.
