>I like it Steve. Dovetails' proprtion, size & spacing looks right. The location of the mouth though... Is it too close to the center? Should be somewhere along the second "tail"? Perhaps the "hump" of the brass sides are appearing to be in the center. You know what I mean? How long is this? 9" or so?

Chico...

PS:Glad to see you back in infill arena, which seems like it's getting more ferocious than Colossium 200 years ago! ;-) Good luck Steve.

>the mouth is 1/3 back. I liked it centered but it caused holding problems on my last planes. it was hard to get the mouth and pins worked out. I am glad I am not doing the drawing.

I am having fun with my mill so I guess infills were next (G)

>I see one assembled body and one exploded view, but then there's the dreaded 'red X' - was there supposed to be a third pic?

I really liked the rounded/sloped nose-and-tail of your original infill (as best I can recall it) - is the wood for this new rendition planned to be about the same shape as you did before?

>That third graphic starts with "file" instead of "http". Steve, if you can email me the correct link, I'll fix it for you in the original post.

Best, Ted

P.S. To me, too, the mouth looks a little close to the middle. If it's really one-third, that should be fine.

>here is another picture with the screwcap. the screwcap is just a drawing the real one does not loo like it. but it gives you the idea.

>Steve,

The only suggestion I'd make is to make the DT a little wider at the throat opening.

Nice looking design ... rj
