No progress to report on the plane but I have an admission to make, I started another project while I was stalled and needed to finish it first. In my defence, it gave me some riveting practise for the rivets in the plane, so I'm calling it R & D.
The Bulloak was some left from the plane, the blade was cut from an old panel saw blade, the brass wear strips were from an old tile bar and the other brass (discs and rivets) came from my newly arrived stock.
