Challenge 2020-21 Aussiephil - Kanna with a modern twist
Looks like i'm now in and i think i'll aim for something different and hope that i can pull it off.
I've got a plan (or should that be plane) in mind but need to start at seemingly the wrong end by doing the blade and chipbreaker before even getting to the body.
So to that end today I 3D printed some vice parallels for the mill that will let me do an initial mock up of the blade in ALU before committing to steel.

The angles printed are a hint to the design I have in mind
Attachment 480455
The little mill with some steel plate but it's not thick enough so looks like a trip to ebay will be needed. I need the facing cutter to get off the slow boat from China to get started so may just print up a plastic mock up first.
Like just about everyone I have too many projects on the books including the new work bench that at 4M long should finally give me some working space

Oh and inline with the whole messy bench this has got to go close to taking a prize, this is the new mobile outfeed/general duties bench that hasn't even got the top sheets fixed down and already it's covered with toys.

So what i'm aiming for is some originality points along with fit for purpose .... looks will be in the eye of the beholder...
Once i get something better drawn in Fusion360 I should get some renderings up.
Blades to the battle...

Don't worry about the clutter on the bench. I am just surprised it has not evoked a comment from Matt.

an overnight - oh i stuffed that up moment
In watching a few more videos and doing some pauses it became obvious that i stuffed up reading some dimensional data that resulted in me drawing out the blade design wrong. Rapid prototyping let me see the errors at least:)
So the blade post a couple above is essentially still valid except for the 3 deg slope on the sides .... everything i've managed to find so far points to the older style blades have a slight angle whereas a modern design is straight edged
anyway a new blade prototype is on the printer
