Wow, That's the plane you made for me, Steve! Couldn't help but have a
little rush of pride when I saw the picture. It's a great plane. Very
true and works like a charm. I didn't weigh it but there's ample heft.

I like the "racing stripes."

I like those little hammahs, Steve. Ouchy price, though.

Hmm, no, I'm not pleased with racing stripes on planes. Let's hope
some other folks are if you make very many of them.

Cool, carry on!


P.S: I'm up to about twice a week now. That's how often I pick up your
smoother plane and use it in the shop.

Steve, did you see David Marks on WoodWorks tonight? He showed
how to make a plane out of purkleheartless. There goes your
bidness. ;)

Oh, I don't doubt that. I just find it hard to pay so much
for a hammah. I'm so cheap, I found the $2.99 HF framing
hammah to be juuuust right, and I'm not even a bear. I'm
using a $6.95 Warrington hammah from Griz on the wooden
planes I bought/traded from you, and it's just right, too.

Go for it. Some people like racing stripes on their planes.
I move mine a whole lot slower so I can listen to the lovely
"scritch" as it cleanly and perfectly slices all those teensy
fibers.

For me, that's amazing. I'm finally back in the shop.

Yeah, but David, while he made a great looking plane, used every Normite
tool in his wonderfully equipped shop to do it with! He even used an IRON
plane to trim up his wooden project plane.

I also noted he never claimed that this, in any way, saved any money.

too bad I did not get to see the show. it does not take too many power tools to
make a plane and you can do a lot of wit with handtools. but as you say you
don't really save money making just one.

Take a look at Steve's shop. He can't make money with Neander
tools. They take too long. They're what we use to relax. To
get work done <sigh> the Normite tools usually get the nod.

But there's not a single project yet that I've failed to use
_some_ Neander tools on. Not one. That said, I need to get out
into the shop and finish the carving bench. The top's on and it
pivots, but I don't have a set of adjustable arms to keep it
resting at angles yet. And I need to set a sandbag shelf on the bottom
for ballast.


>I also noted he never claimed that this, in any way, saved any money.

Nope, and if he's smart, he never will. ;)

I think the "racing stripe" looks better horizontal to the sole as in
Steve's models vs. vertical to the sole as I've seen from some
planemakers. A question for Steve; have you considered making similar
planes using a layer of _very_ wear-resistant wood for the sole and
then maybe an easier-to-work wood for the rest of the plane body?

Cheers,
Mike

Not making enough furniture cause the purpleheart smoother is whining
it's not getting much attention. Used the scrub the other night
instead of the table saw to take down some 1/4" BB ply to the edge of
a ink holder I sold a couple of. Finished with a hock iron stanley 9
1/2.

Not gotten a chance to play with the iron I bought and put a back
bevel on for working purpleheart.

Got most of a quick plywood cart to hold the DW735 on one shelf and my
compound miter saw on the top, alah a New Yankee Workshop episode.
The saw bed is at the same height as my table saw fot long length
support.

Plan to put a drawer below the planer to use the space. Had hoped the
Kreg miter guage would fit, but the bar is too long.

all my planes have IPE soles. I can use most woods for the body though cherry
and walnut are too soft.

that's the fellows retail price. it takes a lot of effort to make a hammer if
they are not mass produced. he has the heads CNC'd. those title things take a

Just remember that there are folks out there paying top dollar
for Bridge City, Emmerich, Lie Nielsen, etc. stuff, so your
market is what you make of it. Go get 'em, Steve!

This guy overfilled his garage/shop with tools so he went out
and bought a new house so he could build a 1k' shop to hold it.
