Succumbing to pressure from Ian
Well not exactly pressure to build, but to finally pull my finger out and finish.
I made all the brass bits pretty much straight after the original plane build for the comp. Another 1 inch and a 3/4 inch. As I gave away the first 1 inch made to the father in law.
So after lots of procrastinating on what to use for the infills I finally settled on what I think is a bit of figured blackwood for the 3/4 inch, which the tiny piece has been sitting around for nearly 6 year I think. Most of the figure is where you cant see on the wedge.IMG_2702.jpg
For the 1 inch I ended up just using a small offcut of Rosewood.

More lessons learnt.
I get a bit over excited with the soldering and use way too much which results in a lot of tiresome filling to clean up.
Easy to go from not enough mouth opening to too much very quickly.
And once again for the 3/4 inch the blade doesn't sit perfectly square, need to tap it a little side ways but can take an even shaving.
As for the 1 inch, i don't know what I done wrong here but the blade sits perfectly square and cuts lovely. Still scratching my head about that one.

They could both use polishing up a bit more but they work and thats good enough for me.
cheers

Shane,
I would say Ian had nothing to do with those two gorgeous planes.
There fantastic, an Ye tool building tends to be a bit stressful sometimes.
But that’s just part of the learning curve.
Cheers Matt.
Hope we see them on the Sunday night Jabber [emoji6]

Nicely done Shane.
I am not sure what constitutes a "set," but if the HNT Gordon's products are anything to go by, you need a 1/2" and a 1 1/4" to make the set of four.
