I don't know if Record have stopped making them-I saw a new one in a tool shop in Salisbury. It cost double the price of a nice used one so i walked on by.........
Most of the new Record stuff I have bought turned out to be pants,soI was happy tobuy a used one! :wink:

about 6 inches (the piece will be convex)

Convex is easy. I'd just use saw, spokeshave in the normal sequence. Unless you're fixated (some are on a "from the plane" finish, I'd use a concave sanding block to finish.

Bugbear, It could well end up being done like that!

'Course, if we knew what it was we could further bend our, ha hum, "brilliant" minds to the problem... :roll:

Cheers, Alf (curious*)
