    I'm not sure the following will solve the problem, but it's an easy try. Flip the slotted plan around, onto its 'back' side. That may work, and maybe not.

    Tom,
    That is close to how I did the last bending effort. The only difference from your technique, was that I used 3 nuts of the same size - they were handy.

    Late this afternoon, I tried again to straighten the bend in the blade. I somewhat refined the holding of it in the vise, slowly bent it until there was some reverse bent, and then let it stay in the...

    Jim,
    The forward, center of the sole is definitely worn from use. Probably from taking heavy cuts to remove material quickly. However, the area near the throat isn't worn (much) and is straight....

    Derek, yes I have tried using it. It works and can remove material, even leaves a smooth surface, but there is a noticeable concaved surface due to the bend of the blade, and because of the bend it...

    Thanks for the response Richard. The file test did show that it is pretty hard; a die maker's file I have, made only a slight mark. I did try a simple bending, being careful on how much I was bending...

    I've got less space than you, just a small kook in the garage. So, I needed all the storage space I could claim. Deciding to put drawers on my bench was an easy decision. One thing I did that kept...

    I suspect you'll get better and more knowledgeable responses, but here's my thoughts. If the table has one of its long sides (i.e. side running parallel to the grain) along the wall, then I would...

    I'm sure you'll get some better advise for others shortly.

    This is how I'd make your cut (this is after making a similar cut in well seasoned Doug Fir, with a 6.5 ppi rip Disston). Assuming you...

    Thanks for all of the comments, they are appreciated. Derek, about 2 hours before seeing your comment, I came to the same conclusion – I'd use solid wood to cover the plies, so why not also us them...

    Stopped Dados in Plywood, How?

    What is the 'good' way to cut a stopped dado in plywood, using hand tools. I could do it with a powered router, but why put up with the noise and dust. I've done them in 'real' wood by drilling holes...

    Or maybe its still with us because of the bronze parts having provided some protection for the adjacent wood. Perhaps the common, all wood planes just rotted away (wish they hadn't).
