Nice job Brandon.

Looks like a great idea. Does it work well?

Very nice Brandon.

Great rust cover up. I was going to make one, but Andy told me to suck it up and just hold the damn plane. (I’m paraphrasing of course)

LOL. You don’t want to listen to me Don, I’m full of BS.

Works great! I used to get by by just holding the damn plane, too. What I like about this was that it would give me consistent results each time. I would like a Stanley 72, but that’s not in my budget. :-)

Its still on my list. I was going to use epoxy, but I may steal your design. You’ve broken the ice.

I almost tried to make mine have an adjustable opening by making the holes on one of the sides slots, but I decided to keep it simple.

I didn’t want to use epoxy because I wanted the apparatus to be removable, and I didn’t want to use rare-earth magnets because they wouldn’t necessarily stay in position.

You should do it, Don! I’d love to see what you come up with.

The plane went from $2 to priceless. Great idea Brandon.

You will never hear me complain about someone taking a plane and making it work. NICE JOB !

Nice job buddy. Nothing wrong with a little innovation and modification.

Nice mod there Brandon

Looks like you and Stumpy are competing here.

I now have something planned for ‘ole rusty…. :-)

Very nice Brandon, this will be a handy tool in the arsenal. I need to find an old plane to dedicate as a chamfer like this.
