Edit
The blades for these planes are taken from 100 twelvemonth quondam shape steel irons past times Herring who were good known for their carving chisels. Although the blades were solely hardened for purpose of their length it was also far upwards to hold upwards cutting amongst a hack saw. I had to resort to hitting them amongst a lump hammer inwards an engineers vice to fissure them inwards the correct house (ish!). The backs were initially flattened on a linisher together with the tops were rounded on a disc sander.

The blades were unused together with had a shallow twenty floor bevel. I straightened the border together with hence hollow solid seat down them at 25 degrees on my high speed grinder. The finally honing was done at thirty degrees which tin hold upwards seen every mo the fine polished narrow edge.
I've late been sidetracked amongst a Norris A6 late purchased which has multiple cracks to the bring upwards handle. Thankfully the cracks had non been repaired which makes things a lot easier! I filled the cracks amongst epoxy together with clamped the grip every mo tight every mo I could. The handles postulate refinishing merely hopefully past times the fourth dimension I've finished the repair it volition hold upwards invisible every mo good every mo strong.
