A very interesting post, thanks for taking the time to put it together. Is one of your smoothing planes an infill? If so, what type?

The norris-Type, the plane with the japanese blade are infills, but not in the traditional way. They are milled from solid steel and the blade is bedded on an wooden infill.

>Hi Rolf,

Thanks for telling us this story, and for telling it in such a matter-of-fact way. It is a very familiar feeling to me--dealing with small and not-so-small mishaps. I often wonder if most decoration and ornament--including the high-end stuff like cockbeads, stringing, and inlay--originated with a resourceful craftsman fixing a problem in a pleasing way.

The story of the Stanley #55 is a fine example of turning lemons into lemon chiffon pie. Those moldings are most impressive, and the extra bead is beautiful. It's a testament to your skill in handtool use.

Looking forward to the continuation!

Wiley
