>What a great article! My only disappointment was that you did not show the finished work. Is it still on-going? I would be interested to know what finishing technique you choose and how it looks in its final form.

>One other question. You show a low-angle infill plane in a couple of pictures. What type of plane is that? Is it one of your designs or something common to European woodworking?

>The work is not finished yet. At the moment i have glued the frame, which will be tomorrow glued to the korpus. Then there are the mouldings, the 2 doors..

The cupboard will be finished with shellac and oil.

>Rolf, very interesting. As you said, the translation is less than perfect but not at all unreadable. How long have you worked on the project? Can you describe the planes that appear to have been hand made....the smoothers are beautiful and they look like they work as well as they look. Is there an English word for the wood? The dovetail (tines) joints you cut are great.

>The wood is the german version of Red Alder.

Soft but the lumber was "nasty" to plane because it seems to have grown in waves.

At the beginning of the project, which has started in Sept. 2003, I intended to count the hours, but I didn�t...

more information about my planes..

>Hello Rolf,

Excellent seminar! Thank you very much for sharing with us. Using the google translation service is a good way for us to enjoy the German presence, which is much missed, although we are happy that Dieter's forum is a success. It's not difficult to follow the translation.

You have shown a very interesting method for sawing the tails board. Is that a sliding block (with magnets installed) which you are moving along the end of the tails board as a saw guide? And did you use a similar sliding block as a guide to sawing the pins?

I also thought that the clamping block you used behind the pins to stabilize the boards while transferring marks will be very helpful to those who like to saw the pins first.

It is also good to see your machined-from-solid infill planes in action. If you decide to produce these commercially, be sure and let us know. I like the low-angle one a lot.
