    With all this action on other build threads and likely my bench build will get delayed a couple weeks at least whilst the new thicknesser takes a round trip back to the vendor to investigate a depth of cut issue the thoughts of planes has reinvigorated my love. or better said i need to get off my and do something.

    the plan to build the body on the 3D printer will need to go out the window as the large printer is not yet re-commisioned so I'm having a semi change in direction.

    The section of the Kanna that holds the blade and provides the escape path for the shavings will still be 3D printed as an insert into the main body, the main body will be made out of spare hardwood i have lying around at the moment as it really is just a simple block of wood with some milling to be done on it.
    The 3D printed insert holding the blade means it could accommodate any blade with adjusting the body.....

    Sounds simple when i type it but I'll bet it's not.

    Cheers
    Phil

    Glad to hear you’re back in the running!

    Now we just need to give it a name; as it is a hybrid perhaps something like “Prius”?

    Awesome! Yes gear up. We should have your plane in the collection. The more variety the better!

    I think I shall bestow the name

    TriPlane

    Three coloured woods for the body and three different materials, wood, plastic, metal

    P2100070.jpg

    I'll leave the glue to setup till Sat now and then trim the body down to final length and width.

    That will let if fit in the mill vice and i can take out the insert section for the blade insert, might even start milling the blade up over the weekend.

    Not sure if we have seen a mill used in the challenge yet.
    Phil this could be a first you know.

    Cheers Matt.

    I think the schedule will be a bit tight this time Phil and we'll have the mother-in-law in tow also. Thanks anyway.

    Well i got impatient and needed a mental break.

    The TriPlane reveals it's colours

    X2122200.jpg

    X2122203.jpg
    This will be the sole and looking at the photo i'm fairly sure that the left hand side will be behind the blade.

    Here is a pulled back shot for the camera guys showing the remote flash providing some bounce fill

    X2122208.jpg

    Current dimensions are 96mm wide by 296mm long

    Final dimensions... the length is set unless but the width could drop down to 90mm yet but that may be a bit thin around the blade.

    The current weight of that block is 1.45Kg .... some weight loss to happen as we cut bits out yet

    no doubt to the chagrine of the hand tool guys and nearly not in the spirit of building a hand plane the sides of the block are nearly straight off the table saw with the Freud rip blade even the cross cut ends.

    cheers

    But you used your hands no doubt to push the timber blank through the table saw, so that’s hand work, right[emoji6].

    Cheers Matt.

    Yesterday and today I turned myself over to the metal working gods, and they didn't want to play all that nice

    First challenge was to cut the basic blank out of a very heavy duty leaf spring.

    PB010835.jpg

    No idea what the spring is out of but it is 75+ mm wide and around 12mm thick.

    Pulled the trusty metal cut off saw out with the original but only about 10mm worn off it metal blade and after about 15minutes of not really getting more than a few mms into the spring i gave up and visited Bunnings to buy a decent and appropriate cut off blade .... score one for using the correct blade again.

    P2130076.jpg

    I was going to square the edges up but it was just a little to high in the vice standing on edge so got one edge done enough to get a flat surface for the back vice jaw and then squared up the two ends ....

    As for the photo above a Kana blade has around a 3 degree face bevel so i have decked the side not showing and have started on getting the 3 deg bevel on the other side.
    The plan is for the bevel to go back around 70mm then the rest will just be flat.

    The carbide insert face fill is 50mm in size and seems to be doing just fine, at 0.1mm per layer . getting nice clean spiral chips that are blue, i would take a bigger cut but the mill is not currently bolted down.
    Before the MW guys freak the blank has now been moved further into the vice... i really need those 3deg spacers to be a bit lower for this chunk of steel.

    Work got delayed when next door neighbor brought in a box of number 5 biscuits and we made a dent in the stock in the beer fridge

    Cheers
    PHil
