Thanks for that Derek, saved as PDF and filed away because I will do a smoother one day.
I have decided, for this blade to go low angle bevel up, and I've always wanted to try a dovetail construction, so I'm heading down that track.
I made a practice dovetail to make sure I had that sorted, and I'm drawing up a block plane style. Overall length around 180mm, width 45mm, blade angle ~ 13°-14°.

StewMac have these scrapers. I have the "original" and it works a treat:

Did you get the "Mini Grinder" too for sharpening?

Hi Paul,
No I haven't because of the 110 vs 240V business.
The Stewmac website has a video in their scrapers' section showing how to sharpen them with a standard bench grinder, making sure that it is at 90o to the wheel. It looks like the faint hollow grind generated by the wheel creates a similar edge to what a burnisher would create on a traditional scraper (?).
Because I still have analysis paralysis when it comes to the selection of a bench grinder - 2850 or 1350rpm - my scraper hasn't yet been re-sharpened....
Not that I use it that often, but it seems to be sharp, still!
Cheers,
Yvan

I made a thick scraper several years ago (from the rear of a 3/16” thick plane blade) - posted here a number of times before. Similar to Stewmac.
Edges are ground square on a CBN wheel …

- 2850 and CBN wheels, or
- 1350 and white wheels - but wet or dry ????
PS: Suggest that you read Derek's website on grinders and CBN, if you haven't already done so.

I've made a start.
I did a bit of sole searching and found this,

which after a bit of dodgy manipulation,

That’s definitely thinking out of the square Picko,
Has Mr Ian seen our you made the slot for the tongue and grove,?.
Is that a slitting saw,or a grinding disk,it’s a bit hard to tell.
Cheers Matt.

I reckon Ian will call by some time and see how lazy I am.
That's a worn out, old style, 2.5mm thick cutting disc. I squared the edge up, after I put it on my dodgy cut off bolt arbour, with a diamond grinding wheel dresser. It worked a treat. I think it would be possible to do thinner ones with the modern thin discs.

I got the sides cut with my tried and tested (but not yet approved ) inverted jigsaw method.

Picko,
It seems your in the same camp as Mr Bushmillar with the jigsaw thingy.
I’ve not tried that, an unfortunately I’ve never been friendly with my jig saw.
Can you elaborate on it, I know the picture is fairly obvious [emoji6].
Ps you’re moving a lot faster than I am with your plane build.
Cheers Matt.

Firstly, you need to make friends with your jigsaw.
Secondly have a look over your shoulder and be sure there's no WHS people around. Close and lock the door.
Then find a way of holding it inverted without damaging it, because if you hurt it, the friendship's over.
Have a look over the other shoulder before finding a way to block the switch in the on position.
Plug it in and turn it on. Set the speed to fairly slow and get stuck in.
Oh, I forgot an important step which should probably come after you become friendly with your tool - fit a metal cutting blade.
And don't be too concerned about my progress being quicker than yours because I'm heading down the coast soon and I can't take the shed with me.

In case it is of any help, this is the reference to which Matt is referring.
