well i gave up on flattening more yesterday. I might scrub it dow some more under the handle later if it still do wierd stuff, or just leave it.
The thing that bothers me is the casting thickness,...

by rough casting i ment that russian plane had only the frog fitted and other than this and cutting open the mouth no other machining was done to it. it may or may not fly over belt sander at some...

well i basically already have a sure square one, but it is that soviet russian bailey knokof i restored in march.
the only difference is basically the length 15 vs 21 inches and i know that the...

so, to be on the same page
right now my plane is touching on both ends, not a banana, but i chased the hollow down to less than a printer paper thickness and basically it only exist behind the...

thanks, so it wasn't a lost effort after all :]

I tryed something in the meenwhile.
Since i brushed off all the dust from my sanding belt while i was going along, i might not see how much the...

Well I actuallt watched Tom Lipton from Ox Tools on youtube using wood cutting rounding bit on his printing press project in a really unsafe manner. So I decided to try it myself.
The thing is I...

Sorry to say this but it seems you missed the point, or at least missed why I want to buy #7.

I have no idea if I ma doing it from an elbow or knee, it kind of get lost in translation . I am mostly leaning over the work and move with the work if that makes any sense.. The problems with...

Ye, that is basically what i figure out by myself. But it is still frustrating, especially when me being a kind of compulsive perfectionist from time to time. That being said, i was avoiding like a...

Thanks for your answers, they kind of work, but some of it I already know.
Laping plates are for smaller, things i belive though.

To be perfectly honest the whole idea about making flat reference...

For once joining two pieces of wood might be harder if the plane was convex on the sole, near to imposible if it was concaved.
