Infill smoother kit?

[condeesteso]

Hello all, for some time I have fancied making an infill smoother, from a kit. This may be a bad idea - opinions welcome. nevertheless, I found this man in Wales - but he does not respond to emails etc (there is no phone number) - anyone know this maker, or otherwise recommend a kit, or otherwise tell me it's a silly idea. I am prepared to work slowly and be patient. The one I like the look of is here:

Cheers

Wow - there were no responses when I started mine. Then two come along at once!

I would highly recommend Aled's kits. He is a very nice guy and his meticulous instructions and well thought out kits are well worth the money.

I didn't know he was doing infill smoothers...I did the little shoulder and it started me down the slippery slope of making infills in the future.

Whereabouts are you in Sevenoaks...I am over in Wrotham Heath...if you wanted to pop over and see the kit in its constructed form.

Hello Jimi - I'm really close to Wrotham Heath. Also I checked your blog a while ago - and I've seen the planes you have made, that's part of what reminded me to try one . Very nice indeed (and the recent Sorby tenon saw)... just waiting for the invite (bit like the wedding), Douglas

Brilliant natter Jimi - damn, I will have to make an infill now, and I know how many hours that is going to burn. That bench drill is stunning - do it proud as I know you will. Best, D

Hi Douglas

It is great that we are only a few miles apart...I am sure we can be of assistance to each other on a number of matters and once you choose the route you want to go with regards to the infill...kit or scratch...then I am always here to assist if you want another set of (old) grey cells on the subject.

Cheer mate and thanks again...did you see the new pics in the drill thread...she gleams now!

HA ha, there's a few people about. Just not too many 'hobbiest woodworkers' with an unnatural love of shiney sharp metal objects.
