>Hi,

Made two chisel planes. The blade is A2 steel. Before hardening I drilled two holes to fasten it to the handle. Wood is Ash.

Thanks,

Svante

>Exactly what I was thinking. These would be easily built and easily customizable crank back firmer chisels. OTOH, they don't really work the same way as a chisel plane, because they have 0� relief angle. This allows them to easily remove high spots, but they're not optimum for taking down an already flat surface right up into a corner.

>No, for that you need a Stanley No. 75.

>You got a cat problem that might be solved with a ballistic projectile?

Mine worked just as well right out of the box as it did after I'd ss'd the blade :^) A tool so incompetent that even an optimally sharpened blade isn't any real help can only be classified as a modern marketing miracle. Rhetorical question: Why don't Ron and Tom offer cryogenically hardened A2 replacement blades for the #75?
