The Sentiment Of Using The Quondam Sort Steel Blades Was To Buy The Farm On The Terms Down
Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Edit
The batch of planes is complete, they took a total of 44 hours which is merely over 2 hours per plane, non bad. The sentiment of using the onetime shape steel blades was to perish along the toll down, they were £3 each instead of £20 for my especially made blades. The steel is really expert but they took to a greater extent than fourth dimension to cook too sharpen. They volition travel selling for £89.
The terminal I used was ii coats of Melamine Laquer which was thinned 10% for repose of application too ragged on thinly. It smells awful thus I wore a mask too kept the workshop door open. The coats dry out inside a infinitesimal too were left to fully harden overnight. I too thus rubbed them out alongside micro mesh abrasive working from 1500 grit to 3600, alongside a concluding coating of carnauba wax to consummate the job. This produces a lovely gloss terminal which paricularly suits the Kingwood.
These are actually useful piffling planes too the curly walnut was smoothed alongside ease. The tight oral fissure too the 52 1/2 marking bed angle ensured at that topographic point was no tearout to the reversing grain.
This 1 is inwards Bocote also known every bit Mexican Rosewood (although non a truthful rosewood).
I made ii inwards Macassar ebony a really dense brittle timber.
Most of the batch were made from Kingwood a rare too wonderful rosewood. I promise I position it to expert use.
I used gilded inwards my advert postage stamp for the outset fourth dimension too I mean value it looks good.
