YeeeeHarrr Midge!!!!!!!!

The best I could do in terms of realistic photos is terrible, but I'll post it anyway, its round a knot in a bit of camphor laurel, grain in every direction, and while the scan doesn't show it, in fact it looks like the old firewood it is, the piece is perfectly polished... must be beginner's luck!
It's a bit touchy when belting with the mallet: a good dong on the front will bring the blade down just a bit too far, while a tap does nothing. Fortunately it's "tap-tunable" from behind, so the wedge must be pretty close to right as well.
I LOVE it when a plan comes together!

How much do ya reckon you will get for it in the station markets of Vladivostok????
Or will the artisan's of Beijing worship at your feet for bringing such technological advances to them??
(We're just envious by the way, if you haden't noticed

Is that meant to be 'workshop' or 'worship' Major? Either one fits well. Originally Posted by MajorPanic

The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

Only if you roll it with a shaving...
I don't tap the nose of the plane, just the blade gently. I know it can spread the steel on the blade, but it sure beats beating up the plane at both ends.
Besides, last one needs whacking with a deadblow to pull the blade out. Not tapping, full on whacks with the angry persuader to get the blade to shift out. Can't be bothered doing anything about it right now though.
Although it does have a steel lever cap in it's very near future. Gotta add some weight to the thing somehow.
