Wooden Try Plane Refurbishment.

[Stewie Simpson]

The list of work to complete this Try Plane's refurbishment has narrowed considerably. A filler block has been glued in place just forward of the rear tote with a matching 10 degree bevel to help lock it in place with the later application of Titebond Liquid Hide Glue.

The pin marks for the missing strike block indicate it was previously flush mount, and rectangular in shape. I will be using a 4x shouldered mortise and tenon joint for the new strike block. Unlike the tote, the joint needs to withstand the demands of ongoing impact with a mallet, so a different type of Titebond Glue will be used. https://www.timbecon.com.au/joinery/no-drip-no-run-glue

The mortise for the new strike block has been done, ready for the next stage of shaping the tenon to fit using an off-cut of Walnut.
