Thread: A Great Woodie Build Off

  1. #61
    Give people the option to have their plane judged or not.

    I would LOVE to have a contest for coffin smoothers - one piece, but because I think they're somewhat hard to build (and get as good of a plane as you can buy) if you're using only hand tools and removing the waste in them by hand.

    Heres my smoother-esque plane made from paduak and maple, may not be pretty but my best performer.

    Ok so I let the competition idea incubate for a day. Doesn't look like there is a lot of excitement for a competition so lets go back to the original idea. Make'em, use'em and post a pic, no winners no losers.
    George, jump in and add some constructive pointers if you see a opening!

    I don't know about anyone else, but I would love it if some others would do a blog on here about the process. I'm going to try and do one for my build, but I won't guarantee it will turn out to be pretty.

    I'm really tempted to jump in on this too, but I seriously doubt I will have the time to do it in the next few months. I'll have to go dig around a bit this weekend and see what I can scare up in terms of supplies.

    Well, someone's got to represent Australia, so I guess I'm it.

    Actually, I have some handle maker's rasps from Liogier to test, and this will be an incentive to get going ... just got to get a bench to work on ...

    Not sure I could run to Ebony, Rob. I am really looking forward to that one.

    Regards from Perth

    Nice, I currently have one in progress. I'll post a picture when it's done.
    Life's too short to use old sandpaper.

    I'll see what I can put together. I've been wanting to make myself a plow for a while now...

    EDIT: I'm in for a judged competition as well. I would be honored to have George Wilson judge my work, if he agrees to take on the role.

    Your endgrain is like your bellybutton. Yes, I know you have it. No, I don't want to see it.

    No worries there....

    I am going to use a Veritas product though.... I'd mention which one, but it's not available for y'all yet....

    Definately not a new plane for the build, someone asked for a pic of my smoother so I posted it. I'm just looking for a design of a #6 sized jack or a rabbet.
