A small dovetailed plane I made
This little plane is only 4" long,made from dovetailed steel body with decorative finish. It is stuffed with rosewood.
The inspiration for this plane was a very rare 19th.C. salesman's sample that I liked. Cost a fortune,so I just made one.The scew on the cap is freehand turned and the "knurling is actualy free hand filed in. This plane had the sacrifical screw on the front. This is what you would tap on to adjust the plane,so the actual plane body would not be hurt.
Looking for Birds Eye Steel
I hope you appreciate all the time I wasted trying to figure out what Birds Eye Steel was.:confused: Now I'm the only nitwit with that on my google search history.:D Beautiful plane by the way!:cool:
Thanks for posting pics of these tools
George,
Thanks for posting the pictures of the drill and the planes. This was a most interesting look at some of your tool making pursuits that yielded some beautiful tools with some very interesting features. I thought the pattern in the steel on the side of the small plane was quite inspired, I may try that myself at some point if you don't mind.
The drill was just an awesome piece of work. Some of the small finial details were quite exquisite. Got any more pics of your tool making? I'd sure be interested in seeing them.
Once again, thanks for posting,
Ron Brese
