Thanks Joe.
Hi Stewie,
Nice work. But why do you need a skewed float for ?
I thought they were only useful for skewed irons planes. Which is not the case on regular HR moulding planes.
Regards.
Edwin; the following shows an example of skewed beds being used on a matching pair of Hollow and Rounds.

The escarpment side on the 3 hollows have been dressed back to align with the outer edge of the cutting iron.

You do such beautiful work Stewie. The will be even more attractive than your saws. Can't wait to see what you build with them.
Further progress is on hold until the skew edge floats to arrive from the u.k. The leading edge on the wedges are beveled at 10 degrees.
