Yes I do believe a smoother would be a good idea but I will do it without the dovetails - especially as they caused so much controversity. Thanks for nice comments. k Hi Anthony

When you are making multiples the amount of error is compounded as well. That means you require too much tolerance allowance and this leads to gaps. The use of the CNC makes things a little easier (I don't think I would like to attempt this with a Woodrat). k Hi

I gave up on it my first attempt after my dovetail bit just wasn't cutting it, so to speak. Again - those are some beautiful blocks of wood!

If so there are a few other customers who will be pleased. k Hi Dave

It was nice to see you this weekend, do you still want all the planes, or is it just only the one? If so there are a few other customers who will be pleased.

I look forward to the finished article with bated breath. Karl you seem to have the ability and resources to combine superbly figured rare timbers with well researched design and masterful execution. how can I say this? It is because I have seen these in the flesh this weekend. As good as your infill planes? ..........a resounding YES!
