Hi all. Attached are photo's of a newly completed Toothing Plane.
The body of the plane is made from PNG. Rosewood. Length is 14" x 3" width x 3.5" in height.
The overall design is dominated by a substantially front tote. Its general size supplied a very good purchase point for the front hand when the hand plane is put to use.
Made from Merbau wood, the front tote has a height of 2.5", and has been firmly secured in place using a 2 part epoxy glued to a tight fitting 2.5"x 1" dia. round tenon.
With the blade bed at 55 * and the iron fitted bevel up, the actual approach angle of the cutting edge to the wood surface being worked is increased by an additional 25* to a total of just over 80*. That increase makes the plane much more user friendly given a deeper iron set.
This last photo shows the wood surface after its been worked with the Toothing Plane.
regards; Stewie.
