http://www.infillplane.co.uk The home of Infill Plane kits Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:30:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've finally finished the Small Smoothing Plane, well, almost finished, the lever cap could do with some more finishing and the infills need a few coats of shellac. Appologies for the photography, taking pics of shiny brass is very difficult.  I've just bought a light tent, but haven't yet got any ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=226 I've done a little more work on the SSP over the last few days. There's a bit of work to do yet, but it looks like I may be able to get it ready for the show at Rycotewood next weekend.  The priority jobs are to heat treat the iron and ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=221 It's been a long time coming but I'm finally making good progress with building the pre-production Small Smoothing Plane (SSP).  I always (well maybe "always" is a bit of an exaturation as I've only been down this path once before) try to build a kit from the actual parts that ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=182 Over the past few months, many of you have enquired about how much progress I've made with the Small Smoother kit.  I must be honest that the progress has been quite slow, due to a few other projects that I've been working on. I'm coming to the end of an Oak ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=174 A few people have by now, built their Shoulder Plane kits and have posted work in progress threads on the UKWorkshop forum.  If you'd like to have a look at a couple of these WIP's check out the link below. http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34955 The thread was started by Rod (Harbo) and Jim (Jimi43) has ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=171 Hi, following a few requests on the UKWorkshop forum for a copy of the instructions of the Small shoulder plane, I've managed to produce a PDF version of that document. If you'd like a copy of the instructions to have a look at, and to dispel the myth that infill planes ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=165 I've decided to drop the price of my Small Shoulder plane back to £65 inc Shipping to the UK.  Worldwide shipping usually adds £10 to the cost, but contact me for an up to date cost.  The cost was initially raised due to the increased cost of water jet cutting, ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=159 Well, I've finally completed the plane. July was absolutely frantic at school so I didn't get much done, but August has been a bit quieter. I decided to go for Ebonised Walnut for the infill in the end, for the simple reason that Walnut was the only dark, close grained timber that ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=151 Hi it's been absolutely hectic since my last post.  The end of term is always busy in school, but this year was especially so, with fitting in welding and turning courses, as well as the usual reports, trips etc. The turning and welding coures I completed were excellent, I could do ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=147 Hi, it's been a while but I have made some progress on  my large smoothing plane. I'd never made a plane handle before, so i decided to have a go with an offcut of beech, before commiting myself to something a little more interesting.  I'm not quite sure what wood to ... http://www.infillplane.co.uk/?p=139
