A group of us in our woodworking guild are going to make infill planes. One of the members is a machinist and woodworker. We were discussing should we peen or solder. Since many of you have been down this road, I would like some input based on your own experience. We will be making a #4 and shoulder planes. We will be using brass for the sides and steel for the bottoms. For the blade we will use O1 steel rather than A2. Of course when the project is completed I will post pictures of the results.
