Jointer and Smoother

[Derek Cohen]

I built two planes yesterday, a jointer and a smoother. Let's say that they are a little different from the usual fare.


Firstly the jointer (in Jarrah) ...

And, secondly, the smoother (in She-oak) ...

Both are razee designs, of which I am fond. Blades are A2. Lever cap knobs are from Lee Valley.


The obligatory smoother shavings ..

Oh yes, if you did not get it immediately, they are built around the inset planes from Lee Valley. They are even tinier than I realised. That's a 12" rule alongside the planes ...

Ok, I'm now off to see what I can invent around them. Ideas folks?

I was thinking it'd be interesting to see what you could achieve by using several of those inserts in one plane.

I'd love to see a Stuart Little book illustrated with hand tools like this...

Those are as cute as cute can be.
