Miter Plane

[bugbear]

I find the chamfers a little on the large side, but that's just personal aesthetics, and maybe I've had my tastes coloured by "traditional" factory woodies.

Still an issue of personal aesthetics...but there are "traditional factory woodies" with wide chamfers.


Got several of them (this panel and some molding planes) from the 18th century where chamfers were much broader, details more pronounced.
Of course to scale--a larger plane, larger chamfers. Still much broader than like planes from 75 years later.

Take care, Mike

Fair enough - I think I have ONE plane from 1820, the rest are post 1880.
