I posted Jim's book off yesterday. You'll love the mother of pearl Ray.
The blade is a copy of the one I had in my post WW2 A5. I had traced around the blade and cap iron before I chucked the plane overboard back in the 18% interest rate days. I was reading your thread about the little No.4 you made and your comment about the fiddly task of fitting the infill. I'm avoiding most of that grief by opting for the 50 style but when I had the A5, I removed the beech infill and replaced it with Amazon rosewood. Definitely a fiddly job and one made dangerous if the dust was inhaled.
I was looking at Konrad Sauer's site again this morning. What amazing work!
I will post the two pieces of steel back to you on Friday.
Thanks
Bob.
