I finally got it together to build a plane to cut the female side of a sliding dovetail. The article is here: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ShopMadeTools/PlaningTheSlidingDovetail.html The build for the male side was 6 years ago and, if you missed it, that article is here: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ShopMadeTools/Evolving%20a%20Dovetail%20Plane.html Regards from Perth Derek -- Buildiing furniture, and reviewing and building tools at http://www.inthewoodshop.com |

I agree, nice planes. And thankyou for your site Derek, I have read several of your articles/tutorials and have learned from them. |

Make them? No. They would turn a hobby into work. Making tools is just a quick fix interest between building furniture, the pieces of which generally take some months. I only get into the shop on weekends, so time is limited. After making marking knives for a few years, I handed over my design to Chris Vesper. I would like to say that he makes an exact copy, but he makes them better! :) Here’s a link to Chris’ website (with the best marking knives in the world! ... and, no, I do not have any financial interest) ... If you want to make your own, go here … http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ShopMadeTools/A%20Knife%20for%20Marking%20Dovetails.html The point is, I make tools and am happy to share the designs with everyone. That’s what it is all about. Regards from Perth Derek -- Buildiing furniture, and reviewing and building tools at http://www.inthewoodshop.com |

Nice planes and well done blog, Derek. Did you build your own plane, due to some short fall of the side rabbet planes that you were using? I thinking of getting a set of the Veritas planes, but haven’t found anyone that has used them. Of the 3 you have, which is the best? Thanks for the post and the links. |
