    It never occurred to me to lay the plane on it's side when adjusting the blade- I just go for an even shaving and the blade centered in the body.

    Rafael Herrera makes good points.

    These are all the boxes. The lower middle ones came in their box, I made the other ones. There are some others in rolls.

    These things are sharp, & would not do well banging into each other.

    That looks very handy.

    The Crazy Horse dolly is brilliant, if you have a smooth shop floor.

    This machine is already set up for carbide knives. I actually have a set of HSS knives, but I don't have the other pieces that set the knife height.

    That would be just the thing except it doesn't make a flat- bottom hole, can't do 3/4", and costs $60 plus shipping. :cool:

    I don't know, but sometimes I check the number of times braking- me vs car in front.

    Regularly 1:10, often 1:20, more on mountain or curvy roads.

    Recently on a ~6 mile stretch, 1:60!

    What I did was start with a flat piece (~7/16" white oak) and used pieces of masking tape to shim the wood flat when the screws are tightened to the CI fence.

    I had the same symptoms- square on...

    How thick is the stock? The short pieces must have been overhanging the table to allow for the almost 4" Domino fence, correct?

    In practice, chisels are rarely tapped out since they are narrower and made more beefy.

    In the absence of air tools, I would glue and clamp the pieces, and afterward predrill and hand nail 4d finish nails.

    Screws into the edge of plywood, especially 1/2", are likely to cause splits.

    I ground about a 1/16" flat on the edge, and then honed back at a more normal bevel, and it seems much better, so I guess there's hope.
