Infill Plane - Channel & Sons

[Vann]

Hi. I spotted this infill on a local internet auction site. From the lesser know firm of MS Channel & Sons.

Nice buns :ho2 .

Cheers, Vann.

Why? He didn't say that he had bought the plane and he didn't say that he wanted to sell it.

That's not a bad example of 'using available resources'. I'd give it 9 out of 10 for enterprise (I'd have given it 10 if the maker had put a cap-iron on it), but even I can't give it more than 1 out of 10 for elegance.

Whoever filed all the mill-scale off the piece of channel deserves an honourable mention, too.

Regardless it's a ugly plane and I know vann has a number of great tools to do the work,
Who are you to jump down my throat...

No fighting chaps (hammer) . Remember it's the season of goodwill :deer :ho2

No I never bought that monster, and it didn't sell. It's just been relisted. $125 (~£60) and it's yours ('course you still gotta collect it :mrgreen: ).

I wonder if the bloke who made it ever got much use from it. Not as much effort to make as a dovetailed infill, but also worth a LOT less as an heirloom - so all in all, probably not a good return on time invested.

Cheers, Vann.
