I think I may have sold a few for them:) I have not finished restoring the Emmert yet.... but I suspect it will be rather amazing. Stay tuned!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>KonradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-27939674760945184332007-11-07T20:55:00.000-05:002007-11-07T20:55:00.000-05:00Hi Wiley,That sounds like a really great variation...Hi Wiley,<BR/><BR/>That sounds like a really great variation.

You'll have to let us know the final weight when lever cap and iron are in.<BR/>I like your "Lee Valley monthly woodworking flyer cover photo" ;)using the Tucker vise to dress the rear infill. How do you like the vise? Does it compare to the Emmert vise on your new/old bench?<BR/><BR/>cheers, JayUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687353685417886372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-81430306518012461122007-11-07T19:02:00.000-05:002007-11-07T19:02:00.000-05:00I was thinking of a junior try plane, as opposed t...I was thinking of a junior try plane, as opposed to a true panel. So maybe longer than 14-1/2", but still narrow. With infill and bedding angle selected for best balance--really what I'm looking for is a jr. try with great balance. <BR/><BR/>WileyF.

What length were you thinking - in the 13-1/2" to 14-1/2" range? That length feels about right to me.

I should have clarified that by "stainless" I meant a stainless knurled adjuster, lever cap and lever cap screw... following the A5ss. But somehow...

I don't see any other bronze on the plane - will there be any other bronze accents? If not, I think the sharp yet consistent contrast between the steel and the dark wood is really classy.<BR/><BR/>Looks great! Always love looking at your pictures,<BR/>AndyAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626315321146383558noreply@blogger.com
