That worm drive sounds really cool, although having to move the blade very far could get old. Looks amazing, especially for your first go.jefskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371137053872693861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-36143849574774052092017-10-10T15:21:10.578-07:002017-10-10T15:21:10.578-07:00Hi Bill

So I hope it will work well, especially given the number of hours that I have put into it.<br />I kind of doubt that it will work any better than a standard Bailey plane, or a Lie Nielsen etc. But if nothing else it can look good.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-44994947547376661392017-10-10T13:23:14.474-07:002017-10-10T13:23:14.474-07:00I wish I could be of some help, but I've never...I wish I could be of some help, but I've never actually held an infill plane, let alone used one. Nonetheless, yours is looking great. Good luck with the adjuster. If my opinion counts, I personally like adjusting planes with a hammer anyway.<br />Billconfusedwoodworker@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388390480569098626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-12505046399894681932017-10-10T12:03:32.809-07:002017-10-10T12:03:32.809-07:00Hi Bob
