Evolving a Dovetail Plane

I have uploaded an article on how the construction developed for the dovetail plane I made several months ago. I hope the information is useful in building one for yourself.

Feel free to offer your comments, be they about design alternatives or advice on construction. There are some who have made very similar versions (as will be evident from my comments in the opening paragraphs of the article). Please do post them here if you are able.

Regards from Perth

Very nice and easy to follow article, Derek. Like Philly, looking forward to the next instalment :wink: Those brass "nuts" you use look like these ones http://www.woodfit.com/product_info.php ... Brass+Head They are very good for this type of application.
