New plane adjusting hammer
http://www.knight-toolworks.com/web_temp_pics/newhammer.jpg CTW hammers are
designed specifically for adjusting the blades and wedges of wooden hand planes
and infill hand planes. The polished brass and Lignum Vitae head is weighted
toward the brass striking end and is designed so that it won't mar or mushroom
the blade like steel hammers. The Lignum end is of a smaller diameter and is
used to tap the toe or heel of the plane without leaving dent marks. It should
also be the end used for tapping wedges tight since it won't damage the heel of
the wedge. Handles are individually shaped from Quartersawn White Ash with the
grain oriented to prevent the runout which weakens many other hammer handles.
45.00 plus shipping. New plane idea's
Knight Toolworks in conjunction with Harrolson at www.japanesetools.com have had
these custom made Japanese irons made for western planes. These are the first
and only hand forged/laminated Japanese irons that will fit a regular wedged
plane. They are 2" wide and 5.25" long and are a bit over ¼" thick. They will
drop into any knight Toolworks plane that uses a 2" iron with just a little
mouth and wedge adjustment. They are made from blue steel (holds and edge longer
then pretty much any tool steel on the market) and wrought iron. I believe these
to be the best irons out there over O-1 and A-2 irons. They will hold an edge
longer then A-2 they will get sharper they will leave a deeper/cleaner surface
and they make the plane easier to use. They will really help with tearout too.
They are hand stamped with Shizu Tani (tranquil valley) Shipping is 5.00
including insurance.

yes but I want to see if I can sell enough to justify the cost. I would have to
have someone make me all of the parts. I don't have a lathe for the knobs and
don't really want to buy the stuff the cut the threads.

I caught the reply thanks. I think you should make that a link to an explanation
for that on your site: "why don't I make scraper planes?". I still think folks

Have you ever thought of doing one with screw adjust stems ? Your brass
clamp is surely nicer than a wedge, but when I'm using my antique
ploughs I _much_ prefer the one with the screwed stems to the wedge
lockers.

Lathes are cheap and easy, it's all the chisels and sharpening kit you
start collecting afterwards 8-)
I cut my wooden threads with old Whitworth taps and dies. The thread was
originally designed for cast iron, so in sizes of 3/4" and upwards, I
find it works fine for fruitwoods or hornbeam.
