I hope to have the shell and infill done in about 2 weeks. <BR/><BR/>I guess 7:47 is late for lunch, but it would be an early dinner for us.

Looks like great engineering and great, clean details.

I'm a bit surprised the owner of the "craftsman of the year" Norris did not want you to at least look at the plane in person before copying it (assuming the person that asked for the copy is the same as the owner of the Norris antique).<BR/><BR/>The odd thing about this plane is that it's easily the most elaborate that Norris ever produced, but it is generally acknowledged by Norris collectors to be ungraceful and rather unappealing to the eye. It would therefore seem to be logical that it was intended to be used, though of course the recipient (or his heirs) were smart enough to recognize that using a one-of-a-kind plane like that would be financially unwise.<BR/><BR/>Really a super job, though someone needs to step up to the plate and give you a "Lancashire Pattern" hacksaw to replace that horrid Stanley plastic model. ;-)<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-74147133336062688432008-05-08T08:02:00.000-05:002008-05-08T08:02:00.000-05:00Konrad,MASTERFULL!michaelKonrad,<BR/>MASTERFULL!<BR/><BR/>michaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-2932343081381111382008-05-08T06:48:00.000-05:002008-05-08T06:48:00.000-05:00Thanks Rob,I would not have been able to do this w...Thanks Rob,<BR/><BR/>I would not have been able to do this without photoshop and adobe Illustrator.
