Hi all. More little tasks completed. Brass covers for sliding slots for locking screws into depth adjuster made and fitted. Spending lots of time with my file and engineers vice but did use one of my favourite tools to make the shallow mortises to house them in. I love the router plane . Making this plane seems to be requiring more patience than I usually find is required. Probably just a state of mind thing but I am looking forward to getting back to my hollows and rounds project.

Looking good MA!
Did you modify a cutter to get into the acute corners or finish them off with a chisel? If you’ve not seen it before people have repurposed old Allen keys into router cutters for those awkward shapes.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

Hi CT. I chiselled the outline, vee cut back to this line and used the 6mm cutter in the RP to get as close as I could. Then 5mm chisel and marking knife to clean up. I am a duffer because I could have used the 3mm cutter I just got for my birthday. Next time......and I have some spare allen keys too.

Hi CK. I guess all the metalwork is worth it. Today I was able to get a little more done and it's starting to get somewhere. Slots have been cut for the bolts that will hold the depth stop in place. Nuts have need mortised into depth stop to capture thread of bolts and brass capping nuts and brass washers have been epoxied to the end of the bolt.
Depth stop in shallowest position (smallest chamfer)

Depth stop in deepest position (largest chamfer)

Brass wear plate on bottom of depth stop (seen from underneath the plane, base still to be shaped fully)

Thanks Matt. I thought these photos might have helped. Things left to do are hollow out a big chunk of the depth adjuster block (to allow shavings to escape), make the wooden wedge and cut a rebate in the bed for the screw head. And then the dress up bits, chamfered, round over, etc

I only know what MA is doing as I have watched Stavros Gakos' video again. I must say watching that video it also only made sense to me towards the end. It is a very interesting build.
You can google it or just keep watching MA's build as it unravels.

This one's for you Matt. After much humming and hawing (even watching the video again CK, I was still guessing a bit) I got the clearance section cut out and the angle meeting the wedge too. After checking out the body for the cap iron screw I was able to trial fit the blade with the chip breaker (cap iron, which name is right?). Now these photos might help those who are still unsure what's going on
Blade installed (gap is for the wedge)

Slightly more stylish angle

I realise now that these photos don't show the gap I cut today (in the depth guide) for the shavings to be ejected. You will have to wait for my next exciting instalment

Me again. I don't know if anyone has noticed the improved orientation of my photos. Turns out if I rotate phone 90° and take photo in landscape mode, they upload properly. And looking at the 2nd photo I can clearly see the ding where I dropped the body on the floor....lucky it will be chamfered off. But not with my chamfer plane, oh the irony

Morning Matt. I like simple things. That's why I'm staying away from metal infills (even withstanding Ian's encouragement) and leaving them up to cleverer blokes than me. Your brass sides are looking good by the way

Another instalment from the "tableclothless" plane maker. Taking advantage of the time I have I got lots of "fitting" done today. Fitting the blade to the bed, fitting the wedge to the cap iron and depth adjuster, fitting the depth adjuster to the wedge and to the throat. Wedge has also been shaped (and resurrected - boy can a forstner bit do some damage very quickly, and this required refitting the wedge after planing away the scratch). Scratch plates for the depth adjuster locking bolts have finally been epoxied into position, after a "final" going over with the smoothing plane. Base was also shaped to finished profile with a succession of rebating planes (wooden of course) and things are really staring to come together. Sorry there's no photo of installed wedge but the end is in sight.
