    I have a couple of user #46 planes and prefer them over the 45. I got cutters from St. James Bay, but don't know if they still carry them or not.

    In the early 1800's they would have just attached the back and sides with cut nails. That would be a reasonable option, since they will allow for the little movement you are likely to see with this...

    I've not been to Canterbury, but I have visited Pleasant Hill near Harrodsburg Kentucky. Definitely should be on the list of anyone interested in the Shakers and their furniture and way of life.
