For You Lot Bag Airplane Shaping

Here I'm using a plug cutter to plane the circular tenons on the ends of the cross pin. The Flip Stop scheme on my drill press is real useful inward keeping things steady. I e'er brand a few extra cross pins specially amongst such a pocket-sized plane, the cross pivot is 8mm foursquare together with the circular pivot is 6mm diameter which leaves real piddling margin for error.

Here are roughly blanks glued up, remembering to set put the cross pivot inward of course!

This is the commencement shaping cutting on the band saw using a 6mm blade together with amongst the blank laying on its side.

The front end together with bring upward together with then leave of absence 3 shaping cuts on each corner, freehand on the band saw.
Although this technique advocated yesteryear James Krenov together with Sam Maloof is real useful, it is also potentially real dangerous, thence no pictures!

Here I'm using the spindle sander for cleaning off the marks left yesteryear the band saw. I also operate it for refining the curves on the front end together with rear, the disc sander tends to burn downward this dense wood.

The final phase is amongst the Kirjes pneumatic sander which is a wonderful piddling tool for finishing curved surfaces. I begin amongst lxxx grit together with piece of job through each of the grits upward to fine complete amongst 400 grit. It doesn't create got real long for each plane only amongst 21 to create its almost xc minutes of fairly ho-hum work.
