>I'm in the market for a Stanley 271 or something similar for doing some inlay. Thought I might just make one. Any thoughts or sources?

>Popular Woodworking for August 2005 has an article entitled "$5 Router Plane". This has a simple wooden base and uses an allen wrench for a cutter. The only complicated part is shaping a hole in a thumbscrew to hold the cutter.

>Anybody know if the router plane with wooden knobs between the #271 look-a-likes in the lower right corner of the picture is the "ANDY" router plane available from St. James Bay. I always wondered about the scale of the SJB router planes compared to a #271.

>Well, I had tried their site this morning thinking I had seen something like that there before, but I never did get in. It works now though. That looks like a neat little plane. I just sent them an email inquiring how much and how to order.

Thanks,

Tony

>I'm pretty sure I have that issue at home. I'll be sure to look that up. Might be a fun project with some small scrap of something really nice.

This was one of Brian's early tools. By HIS current standards this is crude work (see rest of site :-)

>Yep, that was an earlier design than the one Jerry means I think. Works very well though.
