>Good evening,

I need a rabbet plane and wanted to make one using a 410 iron (the procedure is in one of the magazines this month). Does anyone have an iron from this plane that they could share the specs/dimensions with me so I could make one or 10...?

Many thanks.

>If no one else answers, I have one at home that I can measure when I get home from Work.

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

>Since you are contemplating building that infill plane, you might want to vist the Handtool forum at Knots and read the thread about different types of brass and metal dovetailing metal in general. This was a recent discussion; lat two weeks, I believe. There were some very authoritative respones to some questions about building one's first infill plane. Of course, this might be your tenth one...I don't know! Sorry, I can't help you with the iron dimensions.
