    Yes, the split of the chisel (or kerf if you saw it) and the wedge itself have to be perpendicular to the grain, so that the wedging action is with the grain, not against it, which could definitely...

    That's how ship trunnels are wedged. Leave about at least 3/8" (or 1/2") of the dowel sticking above the surface, then split it with a chisel. The extra length of the dowel protruding makes starting...

    If the wedge wasn't glued in, it might be possible to drill a screw or two into the wedge itself, and try to pull the wedge with the claw of a hammer. I've done that with dowels. It might not work...

    George,

    That's a great looking plane. Really nice work on the tote there, and the diamond strike is very attractive.

    Thanks for sharing once again.

    For a mallet, I guess the best wood would be anything hard and dense, and not likely to split. If it's too hard, though, it might be likely to damage your chisel handles.

    I've used birch for a...

    Hi Mike,

    I would recommend addding a stretcher to the bottom anyway; I think boxing in the bottom is probably key to avoiding racking, unless you have a large apron with a shoulder cut in it (like...

    Hi Mike,

    Just a question, are you making the leg a single 2x10? I know this is in retrospect, but you could have made the leg a lap joint by laminating two 2x's together and not have to make the...

    Ray, yes I know what you mean about proper tool for certain jobs. In fact, I'd like to get a good broad hatchet or axe, with an offset handle as well. I imagine they must be more enjoyable to use,...

    But, I figured I'd suggest it as another possible means of attaching them.

    Yeah, I didn't think about the slot. Well, the plane was probably used like it is, without anything fixing the two parts together, just held together by the wedge. Annoying to adjust, but you could...

    Is the chipbreaker flat or is it curved? I'm wondering if it's something someone made as a replacement.

    Perhaps the number stamping was done by the user or shop, and not the manufacturer. If there...
