Plane Making
#18
I did not abandon this project. I had two other projects to get done, but now I am at another standstill until I can get a quality counterbore that will cut steel. I ruined the one that I had. 

I am at the point where I need to finish the blade which includes tapering the sides slightly, heat treating, and sharpening. I need to counter bore the skates and drill the holes for the screws, and attach them.

I finally finished the plane. Well I need to do some final tuning and apply some finish to it, but it cuts grooves perfectly.

I cut the cove detail with a round from a H&R set I made a few years ago.   

   
   

   

There is a V groove in the bottom of the iron that gets captured by the front edge of the rear skate.

The Revos apparently are designed to clamp railroad ties and pull together horrifically prepared joints
