I have what could be an on going project of fitting out the house with shutters. Problem is in this place they charge like raging bulls at about 7000 to 9000 to do the house. And to add insult to injury the shutters are made, at least in part, in china.
So I've had a look at what they supply and they're not complicated that's for sure. The only possible issue I can see is making the blades consistent and in a timely fashion. I want to do them all neanderthal so I need a convex plane that will cut around 1.5 to 2" wide. I can make one fairly easily but I wanted to ask first if anyone knows of one out there that I can pick up and save some sweat and time. So the specs is: it needs to cut between 1.5 and 2 inches wide with a curve along the length of the blade of something less than an 1/8". A 2" wide blade is probably way to much to push considering the over all amount of blade material I need so probably leaning towards 1.5". However I plan to use a fairly soft stable tight grained wood so I'll have to play with that a bit.
If I have to make one I was thinking I have two options: either make it all from scratch and buy a blade from Lee Valley or buy a transitional and modify it to suit and add a good blade from Lee Valley.
Or if you have any ideas don't hesitate to chime in.
