    Yeah, stainless tends to be a PITA. I've built several infills in SS and have another one in process. I [usually] use scrap metals for my planes and SS is all over place in regards to malleability, workability, hardness, weldability, etc, etc. However, this plane, made from 403 SS is still nice and shiny after 10 years:

    I have a section of blogs on the infills I made. I'm sure some information will be of value. I thought I had posted a list of references I used, but I can't seem to find it. If I come across it I'll post it.

    Well done Zander! The stainless I have to work with occasionally is difficult to work, eats drillbits, sawblades and files and is difficult to bend.
