Philly, congratulations on a good review and New Year.....havent been on for a while.......I see all your investment in tools and equipement isn't going to waste, big step though going into full time planemaking hope everything works out well all the best for 2008 regards Ian

Tony, I too can see where you are coming from. why not try an adjuster like Karls 11-SA .....this would suit a woodie a lot better than a Norris style I

Hi Tony, nice trio.....plane making is a whole new addiction. actually they are quite diffcult and very time consuming to make and Ray's are actually underpriced for the amount of making in it. Ray also uses a LH thread for the end eyelet also if you look closer at the eyelet...

Just came across his business card........its called Aberdeenshire Hardwoods....mainly he imports exotics but lots of other local stuff.......he seems to specialise in cutting the logs into turning sized pieces, seals them then sells them to craft supplies...axminster etc he has generally got...

Hi Derek, I know what you mean about the balance -size to weight ratio.....i played with KH's last 28 1/2" jointer and although it was a good bit heavier it didnt seem like it was as big as its size suggests....if felt like a smaller plane, beautifully balanced. i can imagine...

Hi Chris, had a few personal issues and new working conditions so havent been around the net for what seems like ages. just been making loads of bits for planes but no planes as yet just filling shelfs with parts....making loads of scrap amongst the good stuff :lol: still learning...

goodness Derek thats a bigun.....do you have a specific job for it or was it built on spec. nice job btw I
