078 Making slot for the iron

Hello my friends! Some of you still don't know wtf i'm doing since the last two videos. I got a little hint - this plane was designed by Olivier Sparks (miss your stuff). To be more precise - Simon Grace (Size Workshop on Instagram) have the same older plane and a nice story below one of his posts. Olivier was based on the photos of Simon's plane but he changed the wedge mortise to upside "T". Nie you can make your investigation :) For those who are not familiar with it: Preparing the blanks video:    • 076 Stabilizing process of my plane blanks   Removing the waste with milling machine:    • 077 Angled mortises on the milling machine   The milling machine leave the corners round so today i'm gonna work on that spots and on the slots for the iron. My planemakers floats and some sand paper will play the main role. Almost all kind of bench planes wedges have the same width as the iron, but in this plane not. The wedge put the preassure on the abutment, and abutment is holded by sides. Too thin sides will guarante splited body so here is the solution - narrow wedge and wider sides. Lovely design, isn't it?? Happy New Year :) Cheers Stavros Click here for support:    / @stavrosgakos   Big thanks for all my supporters!
