I forgot to mention in the earlier thread that I had to use a spring washer as the cap screw and nut embedded in the brass cover was not effective to tighten the iron and chip breaker. The use of the...

After much deliberation I have chosen to leave brass plate on the sole of the plane as is because it reflects my mistake and a subsequent learning curve for me.
I have...

Hello Forum members
Many thanks to you all for your empathy and advice. I'll have a shot at trying to remove the plate and screws as per suggestions. Not sure when this will happen but some time...

Good afternoon everyone
I am appreciative of input from all fellow woodworkers regarding the use of aluminium.As they say two heads are better than one and apart from that I encourage different...

After drawing and redrawing numerous designs , I finally settled on a design and subsequently cut the shape and did a rough sand (at this stage). Given that I had some left over red gum, I gave some...

Very nice work. I am looking forward to seeing the final product.

In my research prior to starting the challenge, I watched a video where a woodworker (I think the surname is Polish) made inserts across the sole of the plane. I thought this looks good and may serve...

Good afternoon Paul
Thank you for your advice which I will try to implement in order to remedy the orientation of my photo's. As you may have ascertained, I"m not very tech minded but I'll give it...
