Needing to smooth some soft maple this morning, I turned to my trusty Spiers infill. After a number of passes, I noticed the open tote felt a little "soft", and discovered the tote has developed a considerable crack just above the base, and all the way around.I noticed a plug near the base, and am wondering if that's original, or if this was part of an earlier repair. I'm sick about it, because it really does a wonderful job.
Question: Does anyone know who rehabs these kinds of problems with old infill planes? I'm not interested in reworking it myself...I have enough other projects that I need to be working on.
I'm sorry for the quality of these pictures, but snapped them with my phone...in a hurry and anxious to know just how big a problem this is...
Thanks in advance...
Allan
