The Plane Truth

You can handle the plane

 I finished the wooden jointer plane tonight. I turned a strike button from a piece of maple and installed it. I chamfered the top edges with my block plane and applied a coat of tongue oil to everything (except the iron). I did some test shavings and it seems to work fine. I also worked on a kanna (japanese plane) I got off of EBay, flattening its sole, and scraping the throat a little, and its works great now too. I am in plane heaven.



Here is the final plane.
