For those of you that may be interested. I shipped out another box of the Ebony flats this afternoon. The box weighed in at 2 lb's, 8 oz. I'm sure these all average the same weight within a few...
I'm spending Sunday afternoon in the studio with some Hock blades and the Tormek T-8. A perfect day for sharpening, nice breeze coming through the windows and listening to good music.

A none photo update for today.

Hi Justin
The one in the center has East Indian Rosewood sides with the Gaboon Ebony body. Sure, I can make one for you with a Curly Maple wedge.
I'm taking orders for batch 3 if anyone is interested. This batch will begin Memorial day weekend and ship at the end of June or so.

A little bit of an update. I used brass rod on all the planes and I'm very pleased with how they look. The Ebony wedges are rough cut and now it's time to enter the fit & finish stage.

Thanks Jack! Happy to say that all planes in this batch have brass rods for the hybrid wedge pin. I'll be using the brass on all future planes as well.
This morning I have a bit of time to work on the hybrid pins before we get ready and go for a mother's day get together. So, what's your opinion on pin rod choice, aluminum or brass? I do like the...

I do have 6 more packs of 8 available if anyone is interested. These are great for Greene & Greene projects.
Well, due to overtime at work and being under the weather I didn't make as much progress as I wanted to this week however the planes bodies are now shaped and sanded. I really like the look of the...

Once this batch is done I'll use my wife's phone and take the photos outside. Hopefully those photos will be a big improvement.
Six of eight out of the clamps and trimmed of excess before shaping. The Cocobolo on Ebony looks great already, can't wait to see those colors when finish is applied!
