For Y'all Jack Planes As Well As Smoothers
Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Edit
I've simply started a pocket-sized batch of two jack planes too three smoothers. The jack planes are xiii 1/2" long too a skillful full general role size, this is a novel bird to my range. The smoothers are 8" long too get got a one 1/2" Hock blade, this is the size favoured yesteryear James Krenov. I usage a perspex template to score out the variety too the seat of the cross pivot hole.
I prefer to drill the holes for the cross pivot earlier separating the sides.
I laid the drill press thence that the spur simply breaks through to the other side. I too thence plow the blank over too consummate the hole from the other side.
H5N1 perfect hole amongst no breakout.
I also similar to exercise the chamfers on the drill press. This conical flake from lee Valley gives fantabulous results.
Here are the sides separated on the band saw. I usage a Lennox Trimaster carbide tipped blade too it gives a real smoothen cutting requiring the minimum of clear up.
Cleaning off the band saw marks amongst a Stanley No81 scraper fitted amongst a Hock blade, an awesome combination!
