Thanks a lot for the nice comment.
I thi...Hi Kevin<br /><br />Thanks a lot for the nice comment.<br />I think that my build confirms your original ideas about thinking and planning the position of the holes very carefully before drilling them.<br />I had to plug one set of holes, and the cross bar for the lever cap was originally not the plan. Instead I had planned for some screws to come in from the sides of the lever cap. But it ended up nice and it is working.<br /><br />You shouldn't feel bad about this seemingly fast build. Out here while at work, I have no obligations to tuck in the children for the night, walk the dog, help with preparing food or general cleaning or other things that I normally do while at home. <br />So nobody will frown at me working a couple of hours each evening after supper. <br />Such a stunt is much harder to pull off while at home. <br /><br />I found that once I got to the woodworking I became a bit more eager to work on the project. Making the totes and the infills were much more interesting to me than completing the metal work. <br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-61284140354141222742017-10-14T15:38:36.480-07:002017-10-14T15:38:36.480-07:00Wow, I am completely shamed!

So perhaps there will be some discussions regarding why the plane says 2017, when the iron clearly is a lot older.<br /><br />Brgds<br />Jonas<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-2655807078036377742017-10-13T17:06:24.527-07:002017-10-13T17:06:24.527-07:00Hi Pedder.

I actually looked in our stock when starting the build, but we didn't have any U profile.<br />Technically you could also use a square profile, and saw of the top. But our only piece of that profile is a 4x4" square piece. And that would be much too large for me.<br /><br />Silver soldering or brazing could also be an option, but it requires a bit more equipment and I am not really convinced that there would be a huge benefit compared to regular dovetailing. And besides I think that dovetailing looks good.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-36492984264576493632017-10-13T09:32:08.707-07:002017-10-13T09:32:08.707-07:00Thanks Bill

Though I can see the sense in that kind of advice now.<br />I guess I have the same feeling about building a boat. I would really like to do it, but I haven't really got the need for it. <br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-1882548046085906682017-10-13T09:26:44.025-07:002017-10-13T09:26:44.025-07:00Hi Sylvain

The small threaded rod on the retaining ring is also M5, so when the large rod is advanced by turning the knob clockwise, the smaller rod is screwed furter in. and the total advancement is the difference in the pitch of the two threads.<br />M5 = 0.8 mm/turn<br />M8 = 1.25 mm/turn<br />So one full turn of the adjusting knob/screw will advance the blade 0.45 mm.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-18814080564402409812017-10-13T09:23:33.548-07:002017-10-13T09:23:33.548-07:00Hi Bob
