Any guesses on what this is? It has me stumped.

Fascinating!! Thanks Wolfgang.
I'm stumped (and I love wooden planes). I can't recall seeing another plane with that profile. It doesn't look like a panel raiser -- at least any I've seen. Plus, the profile would create an odd...
Russell -- I'd love to see some of your shooting boards and "odd ball" shooting set ups. I haven't found the need for machine-like precision to that degree, but it would be great to see some of the...
I haven't used a shooting board on 6/4 or wider stock. I hadn't thought about why until you asked. The first thing that comes to my mind is that long, heavy stock would be difficult to handle in a...
Thanks again to all. You guys helped me find an awesome deal. I tried to explain to my wife why I was excited that I was getting the onyx version as opposed to the mustard yellow. She looked at me...
Guys -- I just got off the phone with Shawn (or Shaun?) at toolnut. You guys were right, I got a VERY good price there. In fact, the price was so good, I bought one. In the next several days, I...
Noah -- Thanks for the heads up, and I do plan on buying this year, but I seriously doubt that the PM will see a $1k price increase next year. If the 3520B were $5k today, I would be deciding...
Thanks for the input everyone.
After lots of research, I've decided to pull the trigger on the PM 3520B. Can anyone coach me on how/where to get the best deal on this machine?
Thanks all.
George -- In addition to the hinges, could you talk us through how you made the number stamps? Thanks George!!
George -- Thank you for your quick and thorough reply. I think I follow you, but pictures would be wonderful, particularly if anyone else is thinking about trying this. If nothing else, it presents...
George,
I'd like to make myself a boxwood rule similar to the batch you made for CW. Can you give more details on how you made the hinge? How are the brass ends joined into the boxwood?
As...
Brian, that is the key question. I was very careful when I epoxied the blade to the stalk. Fortunately, it came out square.
Hey all,
I thought I'd share my humble attempt at making a square. Thanks for looking!

Great. Thanks Andrew, and Trevor.
I've been looking for a good tutorial or book on using sash planes and hand tools to make traditional divided light windows. I'm primarily interested in case piece applications, like china cabinets,...
What does he charge for a knob and tote?
I have, and love, the small plow. I've been using it, along with the LV fillister to make moldings for a clock case I'm working on. My favorite qualities of these planes are the fences, which are...
I'm not describing the difference very well. I'm not referring to a stop. What I'm referring to is how the blade is advanced into the wheel as metal is removed. The wolverine swings onto the wheel...
The screws on the wolverine are allen screws. I keep the correct allen wrench handy with a rare earth magnet stuck to the grinder cover.
The position adjusting issue would be my concern with...
I just looked at your link to the veritas guide. I forgot that it does come with a clamp down mechanism, so it is closer to the wolverine jig than I originally thought. Looking at it, however, I...
No problem. I just thought I'd throw in my experience with the wolverine jig.
The honing guide aspect of the wolverine system didn't really play a part in my decision. I sharpen free hand on...
No negative comments here. I purchased the flat tool jig about a year ago. It is easy to use, well made, and does its job well. Using the wolverine jig on an 8" adjustable speed bench grinder...
