Paul,

I still think the Anti-Christ would be an executable name, considering the dark private conversations we have, some involving female forms, but that’s probably just giving out...

Anthany,

That is truly an outstanding effort, in a time frame that leaves some of standing still,
I also feel you should win a door price for the most considerate and politest Plane maker.

We...

I’m definitely maybe, maybe not, possibly.

Cheers Matt.

Swoopi Bellboard ??

Cheers Matt.

Anthony,
That’s an excellent looking plane.
With the fence now adding more versatility to it.

You should be proud of your efforts there, I can certainly see were you hot your inspiration from.
...

Paul,

No it’s not the tannins bleeding through, it’s the metal Swarf mixed with water, it’s the waste from wet rubbing the steel.
Same stuff you get when using a water stone.

Cheers Matt.

Well I didn’t sleep well last night(actually that’s a lie)I did but anyway.

I have a made a bit of a whoopsie, I was wet sanding the metal infill piece, without thinking about my actions....

Ian,
After considerable consideration (about that long).
I wholeheartedly agree with you, I personally know I have a perpetual habit of over engineering every thing.
In reality the glue mating...

Cklett,



You have caught me off guard again, my intentions are to rely on the strength of modern glues,surface area, plus the 8 mm stud.
But ,with hindsight being such a ....... of a noun if I...

At the end of play for another day,
The River Red Gum infills are starting to come along, some call them stuffings cough,
Still a little bit of chipping to be removed from one corner [emoji3064]....

Excuse me Ian, you may well be one of the esteemed judges, but the body will not be getting “bit o stuffin..”

She will be dressed in the fines of River red gum made to fit her slender body like a...

Thanks Paul,

The shavings are on the thick side a bit still, but that’s too be expected, I still need to work on the plane iron a bit more, flatten it more, an sharpen it more than I have(it was...

Brad,

It was a huge relief, I was feeling I’ve done too much “pretty” stuff, does this bloody thing even work.
So big relief followed by a little private dance, then a drink.

Cheers Matt.

I personally see your awarded an extra .05 of a point if you can guess the size of the purpose build drill bit storage system Pete.
I know people who know people who know nothing [emoji6].

Cheers...

She’s a shaving maker,

One very very very happy little camper hear.

I could even just go an right a few hundred words of dribble now, that the main objective number one shaving is done.
But I...

Ye I get that sometimes, not all the times tho,

I Use Tapatalk free version, I just assumed it was a download speed or something.

It is frustrating tho.

Cheers Matt.

Lyricnz,
As Paige said, they can all be made to work, it just depends how keen you are.
I would start with the Stanley Number 4,
Search on the forum, or the Net there is literally a million ton of...

Pete,
Unfortunately I or Dale don’t have any thing to measure temperature at that heat range.
The iron was taken up to non magnetic an held there for about Ten minutes then quenched in oil.
The...

Pete,
I can tell your doing something special ain’t you.

Is there going to be a theme to the carving ??.

Cheers Matt.

Interesting???

7th-century French art Baroque style chit chat subject matter?.

I’m a maybe as well tomorrow.

Cheers Matt.

An update on all this,

I re ordered some more 1095 Spring Steel through Amazon on 11th of February, and it arrived today.

Exactly the same order as the previous order and I’m very happy with...

Today, work wise was a little slow, so this afternoon I spend some time at a mates place on my side of town. Dale was kind enough to fire up is metal melting equipment, an heat treated the Body’s...

Thanks for the confirmation Ian,

One of my reasons as you pointed out and have now ruined any chance at greatness [emoji6], was the idea of the Lever Cap self adjusting.
So hopefully, yes any...

I think I’m already under her control [emoji3064].

Cheers Matt.

Cklett,
I’m actually trying to get it right before everything is together, but alas I feel you may be right there will still need some fluffing once everything is together.

Cheers Matt.

I will check with Bob, but I’m sure that’s the game plane still, if I get anything even remotely close to your shavings Brad, I be a happy camper[emoji6].

Cheers Matt.

Checked my lever cap this afternoon after work,

On a very crude apparatus,or more accurately using my 1 2 3 blocks some HSS lathe blanks, one at 6 mm ,two at 3 mm thickness too raise my blade ...

Stop moaning,

I’m Speechless what an amazing Guy

Cheers Matt.

Anti-Body, I like that name Paul, would it be going a step to far to call it the Antichrist.

I can have problems sometimes with boundaries.

Cheers Matt.

I’m personally in favour of the blemish(hole), being stuffed with some exotic other metal(brass).
An it being called a a beauty spot.???

Cheers Matt.

Excuse me !!!

Only common people would have a hole,

Dear me what is the world coming too.

Should I do a metric or imperial hole ?

Cheers Matt.[emoji6]

Paul,
Number 4.
But unfortunately it is borderline just because you can doesn’t mean you should, or something to that effect.
It really is just because I wanted to, there is know benefit at all...

Brad,
Take a long deep breath, you deserve it, that’s looking absolutely fantastic.
That’s a family heirloom right there.

And the shavings awesome.

Cheers Matt.

Personally I feel that should be the New world slogan for awhile.

All hail Paul’s Wife.

Cheers Matt.

Pfffff,
Timber you mean chocolate Metal.

Carving, now I want too see what you do with that, looking forward to that Pete.

Cheers Matt.

You Sir May go to the top of the class,
First I hogged out most of the waste with a Dremel carbide bit, then a small grinder wheel.
That was slow going but because I didn’t want to stuff it up.
An...

I’m going to get an oxygen tank !!!!!!!!

Brad that was excellent

Cheers Matt.

The Body(Cristine) is becoming a bit scary, ever time I look at her I come up with another idea, I think I’m becoming obsessed,
If any body remembers Arnie Cunningham from the Steve king movie...

I’m a 50/50 back to chasing my tail again.

Cheers Matt.
Black Sabbath, an Pink Floyd the wall were last played in my workshop.

Mr Authority ??.

Paul,
I hope you noticed Brads attention too detail on the top of his Iron.
I know your stickler for those details.

Cheers Matt.

Brad,it’s looking the business it has a sort of Authority to its stance, it’s quite a striking pose.
You should be very proud if that plane.

Immm tablecloth at the dry cleaners,not that I can...

Phil that’s quite a transformation from crappy rusty Leaf spring, to nearly shiny metal.
Well done.

I so need a Mill.

Cheers Matt.

Tradies for world domination I say [emoji6].

Cheers Matt.

Hi Julian,
Last things first, a piece of electrical conduit split down the centre,would be an idea, or even a piece of garden hose to protect the teeth of a saw while in the back of the Ute.

But...

Paul, I’m definitely aiming for each facet to have a super gloss finish ,but without me in shot.
If you keep this to yourself ,my cunning plan is,if I polish the body to a spectacular reflection...

Immm not sure if the funds will stretch to using those kind of Attorneys [emoji6]

A Beaver might find them taste !!
