Miter Plane

Beautiful! Is that a Philip Edwards blade?

Oh yes!
I had to build a small forge to allow me to heat treat the little monster ;)
There are some pictures here......

Cheers

I want one. That’s a dandy little duck’s nest in your forge. What is the width of the iron? I’ve been intending to build a shoot board but haven’t found time to build the plane.

The iron is 2 inches wide. If you really (like, really) want one drop me a line.
Cheers

Nice work as usual, Phil.

Thanks for the link Phil. Did you do a second heat treatment in the oven?

Wonderful work!

Thanks Gents!
Yes, the iron is then tempered in the oven to increase its toughness.

Great work Philip. I like your forge.

Most excellent. Have you used it much on your shooting board?

Yes, it works real nice on the shooting board. The body being wood means low friction so it slides very smoothly!

A beautiful plane Phil. What do you stamp on the ends of your planes? It looks like a ID # or maybe your name. Thanks for sharing the forge with us.

I stamp my initials on the toe and sometimes a number on the back.

I need a good miter plane. I’m going to have to get me one of these…... : ^ )

Great plane and I loved the link about the phillyforge. Had to scratch my head about the magnet to check the tempering process, but there was this link which explains the atomic process. Neat stuff!

Great link! As you say, the mind boggles with the atomic stuff – re-arranging atoms in the back yard :)

Another awesome plane, Philip!

I believe that too much is often just enough….... ;) Certainly rings true with the thickness of plane irons!
