That is a beautiful piece of work Ed. If you really want a brass LC knob drop by this fellows site (linked below) and email him with what you need. He’s been very helpful to me when I run into a hard to find piece.

Ed It looks as good in the pictures as it does in person.

I can attest to the beauty of this plane. He did a great job.

That is plane fancy! The brass and dark wood work well together.

Ed,

That is a sweet looking plane. Now tell us how it cuts! I bet its like butter. Wait Wait I’m not ready…. Ok now. Go slow and don’t leave out any of the gory details!

Word… that thing is sweet. I have been wanting to build some planes, but more along the lines of wooden, Krenovian ones. But, this thing is wicked nice.

Maybe you should change youe name from nock to norris! that sure is a sweet plane. I have that issue with the full size patterns, any tricks with the build or is it pretty straightforward?

What an incredible project, very cool!

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

This is just sweet! I have that issue and keep looking at it but never have the gumption to get one started. Maybe this will help.

That plane is still beautiful!!!

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

This a real Wow plane Ed well done gorgeous.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

beautiful.
im having trouble getting finger joints in wood and your doing in brass !!

-- Gordon,Sydney ,Australia..Metal for money..Sawdust for love!

You put too much work into that plane to settle for a lever cap knob that doesn’t please you. A machinist would probably turn that for you for not much. Check this site: http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/

I’d wager you could do it yourself, too. You could chuck up a piece of brass in the drill and file it to the proper diameter. Then press in a threaded brass rod. Also, look for brass knobs to salvage off old equipment.
