I am a bloody beginner, a Galoot, out of necessity and not conviction. I am more comfortable with metal, electrons, computers, pencil and paper and math than with wood, but fortunately I still have a few years to hone my skills.
Recently, we started Galoot-Tools, a company that manufactures and sells innovative woodworking tools for discriminating woodworkers.

So what is it, the ultimate handcut joint? The ultimate joint will require precision, flawless execution and many years of training. Many of us Western woodworkers would probably say the dovetail. Two weeks ago I had the chance to see one of th...

Thanks for making me your Buddy. Are you heat treating your plane blades and making them from raw steel or what.

Karson,
the material is “hua wen gang” (pattern folded steel/iron), so yes, we start with raw iron for the plane body. The cutting edge is made of a hard insert (improved blue steel). We hardened to RC64 and are experimenting with differential hardening to reduce chipout.
This is a difficult process to master and way beyond what I will ever be able to accomplish myself. Making the hua wen gang itself requires multiple heating/cooling/reheating cycles and many things can go wrong. I am working with a highly acclaimed sword maker. My avatar shows a recent sample.

I checked out your web site. Pretty cool. I will add it to my hand-plane reference page. I will have to see if the budget will allow me to purchase one of your plane blades. Also, have you thought making a blade for a Stanley 4 1/2? I would think there would be more premium demand there.
