New here. Been lurking and enjoying all the expertise you all bring. Truly awesome ! Thanks to all.
A bit of back ground . 70 years old. Retired engineer. For years I bit on the buy tools then realized I really was trying buy skills. Now I want piece and quiet in the shop. Best sound would be CCR. At my age the shop is the enjoyment and refuge.
I have accumulated quite a few old iron planes over the years at flea markets / most not even cleaned up yet . . My DW gave me a #7 jointer that is now cracked in one of our many moves
- right at one side of the mouth
I am thinking of using the # 7 parts to built a fully adjustable wooden jointer plane.
If that works might to a smother with #4 parts.
I guess that is basically building a transition plane.
I have looked but can't find anything on this idea other than Paul sellers in his Masters site( to much for me).
I was hoping one of you experts might have something.
Thanks and have a great day .
