nope it is not but it would be new for me (G) and I would still use the same
design I used now to accommodate the mouthblock.

Steve:

The marking knives sure look pretty. But I still prefer the
long bevel on your "old" left and right marking knifes. The
longer bevel edge makes registering the flat side against
the plane I need a line parallel to a lot easier than your old
double bevel knife. The extra reach sure comes in handy.

As for the pretty planes - I guess once you get the plane
ideas down to where you can't possibly make them work
any better you just had to make them look "nicer" : ) That
maple figure is beautiful.

Not sure about the special hammers though. The little
japanese hammer I've got works just fine - though not
as attractive to look at.

I'm trying to imagine what your planes will look like
in another five years!

best to you and your tribelet.

my problem is they hurt my hands making them. I have never sold enough of them
to find a better way to make them. maybe I should find someone to make the
bodies and I can just glue in the steel.

I wish I had more new idea's I kind of miss that. What I would like to do is go
for a two piece plane. the body and sole and mortise out the middle instead of
gluing it up. but I can't afford the tooling right now to do it. but I think it
would be an improvement in my planes.

yes that's what I prefer but others don't want to damage their planes.

Er, no offense, but mortising rather than gluing up is not exactly a
new idea. :-)
