    Yes I have been using them. I use the edge floats quite a bit for slots in toolmaking and have used the others for making the odd joint. I like them a lot and they work really well even on very hard wood.

    BTW those floats look interesting. They look like they have to have handles added? I could think of some nice handles to make for them.

    Hi BobL.

    Yes they still need to have new handles fitted, and the cutters resharpened.

    By the way, how much would you charge to do this work.?

    Nice planes guys! You should submit them to the plane makers gallery over at Handplane Central. There's tons of great looking planes over there.

    Keep up the good work!
