Evolving a Dovetail Plane *LINK*

>I have uploaded an article on how the construction developed for the dovetail plane I made several months ago. I hope the information is useful in building one for yourself.
Feel free to offer your comments, be they about design alternatives or advice on construction. There are some who have made very similar versions (as will be evident from my comments in the opening paragraphs of the article). Please do post them here if you are able.
Regards from Perth

>Derek,
The link didn't work for me. :~(
Looks like a nice plane tho, and as with the Scrub that Thom showed it looks to my skill level of toolmaking.

>Tried the link again, and this time it worked. What a smart idea!
Yes, Mr. Bruckner does do beautiful work. I do believe that he was one of the first to start doing this level of plane re-creation, and IMO the most over looked/undermention craftsman doing it. why is that?

Neat tool. Sliding dovetails are fascinating joints, and definitely on my sometime list.
