If I may be so bold as to suggest a simpler plane to start with? Mitres are not all that easy to make when compared to a smoother or something. Best of luck with it. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />KonradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-81348712684254371582011-01-10T07:16:31.976-05:002011-01-10T07:16:31.976-05:00You certainly make beautiful tools.

I'm making some headway on the inlays. A luthier friend was helpful in providing some old pieces of ivory also. I've been mocking up some inlays and will be trying some in the next few days.<BR/><BR/>So refreshing to see and use your planes, and looking over the pics on your site makes me realize how much I love bronze. I have truly become a bronze whore over the past year...:-/<BR/><BR/>I immediately spot that legendary pink hue that bronze throws off so nicely...nice work! I don't know which I find nicer, the No 4 smoother with it's mystery wood, or ebony/mystery wood mini miters...are the mini miters one piece body? Seems like you must have milled those from a solid piece of bronze...or did you join the ends on the front/rear? Beautiful work!<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-27039607163677662042009-02-22T18:05:00.000-05:002009-02-22T18:05:00.000-05:00Hi Alan,It was great to meet you as well.

Your planes are spectacular, it was a treat to try them out.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your advice on toolmaking and my saws, you were most helpful!<BR/><BR/>This new miter plane is really nice, as were all the other planes you had there. I regret not trying out the jointer, it was so big and massive and those hunks of ebony really make a bold statement. Next time I won't be so intimidated to try it out. :-)<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed talking to you.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Alan DuBoff - Traditional ToolworksTraditional Toolworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810160998690256716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-39125190290679212052009-02-10T23:01:00.000-05:002009-02-10T23:01:00.000-05:00Thanks Dan.
