Went up to Louisville to check out some hand tools in this Craig's List add
http://louisville.craigslist.org/tls/5193107028.html
I picked up the filetster in the second pic. BTW, there was a nice #7 that could be had for cheap.
When I got home, I took apart the plane for a clean up and noticed that when I took out the nicker, there were thin strips of paper between the nicker side edges and the wood. When I replace the nicker, do I need to place strips of paper in there also?
BTW, I was trying to figure out how to remove the nicker and noticed a small raised edge across the nicker at the midway point. A screw driver placed along that edge and a small tap of a hammer, and out it popped. Glad I figured that out before I mangled it up.
