Probably, but I doubt it would be noticeable in this plane; whereas in a larger plane with more body to transverse, maybe. I'm no expert on this, clearly; but I think this is the position held by C&W, at least at one time, back in BP days. I also know the Japanese chop their bed mortises for all the planes I've seen.

>I've already got my next plane in mind, and that one will definitely be unconventional. Jim Reed knows what I'm talking about. . .

Oh, Oh, I see how it is now, you're turning into a TEASER! too top it all off you've now acquired a co-conspirator! Looking forward to seeing it.
