Well after checking it all over it's just a bit of crushed timber, a split along the grain and my bruised ego. A bit of CA, a little sanding and a little time to French polish it and no one will ever know.
I'm glad Canadians have a similar sense of humour to us Aussies. Konrad was both cringing and smiling at the same time when I sent him the photo. He then related stories of some of the dings he has on his tools too. Lol
It still takes those translucent shavings

Ok. Ok. Ok. It's still good, it's still good ... Nobody panic. OK? You hear me? NOBODY PANIC!!!
I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm better now. Mostly.
I was wondering when I looked at it ... if that wood has moved, why do the rest of the surfaces all still seem to match?
My immediate impression was that the top of the bun had split - like you see on some old ones.
Very glad to hear it hadn't.
On the brighter side ... now (at least one of) your planes has is first story for your great-great grandchild.
It still has its Infill ... and we still have our Envy
Cheers,
Paul
PS: Go have a little lie down - too much excitement is *not* all good.
PPS: What am I thinking? Go take some more shavings. You'll definitely feel better!

The side of the front bun has split and may come off in time. The CA should hold it together and I may be able to file away the bulging infill. It will always carry battle scars but at least this way I'm not going to be tempted to look at them more than I use them. They are great tools that need to be used ...with a little more care and respect than I've shown to them thus far.
Why is it that even my tool family is suffering ill health...Who ever is in control of all this give me a break will you. Lol.
Ok...it's only a tool, ...it's only a tool.

Sitting comfortably? I'll begin ...
"Soft infill, warm infill, little chunk of burl,
Happy infill, sleepy infill, cure, cure, cure."

Very droll.
That's the big advantage of a fabricated plane as opposed to a cast plane, you can drop them and at least the metal won't crack.Cheers, Bill

Hi Kev
Before you go shoving CA into the crack, did Konrad discuss the application of a little steam to expand the wood? I'd try this first, and then fill any cracks with diluted CA, sand and French Polish.

p.s. On my recent trip I was hoping to meet up with Konrad in Ottawa, get together arranged by Rob Lee, but he is about 6-8 hours out, it was snowing hard, and so it did not happen.Visit www.inthewoodshop.com for tutorials on constructing handtools, handtool reviews, and my trials and tribulations with furniture builds.

Cheers,

Kill the Kids
My solution is to either kill the kids, or put an electric fence around your work area. End of problem, says this father of 7.
Seriously, little kids should NEVER be allowed in your unattended shed, and especially not when you are working or using machinery
That was particularly sad about the plane - I would have wept openlyregards,

No machines in my shed. In fact it wasn't even in the shed.
As I said, things happen.

That looks like its a little cold Derek.
I hope you had a great trip.
I've had a little chat to Konrad about the repair and for now I'll just leave it as a gentle reminder to myself about "it'll only take a minute to.."
CA and a little file work should work well enough and a bit of wood dust and CA will fill the cracks/voids. I'm in no rush.

Well I've recovered from the damaged infill.
Here is the latest to to join the family. I am blessed to be looking after these things. Thanks Konrad.
