I just update my website as and when I can. Due for a change this week as the Spiers Shoulder planes will be coming off. Not sure what I am going to put there yet.

If I understand you correctly the answer is no. The form on the toe section of the No 982 is done with two different cutters and then hand finished. However, on the shoulder plane it is done with an ordinary tungsten carbide cutter and the contour is side milled with the CNC mill.

Looking at high quality work being done makes me think “whatever else this person does, they have engaged in an act of creation”.

I see it differently. A famous exchange between a sculptor and his patron ran as follows:

Patron: Monsieur, it simply amazes me that you could start with a block of ordinary marble and fashion from it such a magnificent figure!
Sculptor: But Madame, the figure was in the marble from the beginning. God put it there. I merely removed the chips and slabs that concealed it from your eyes.

To me, this speaks volumes…particularly about the supreme importance of humility.

What the cloud doeth,
The Lord knoweth.
The cloud knoweth not.

What the artist doeth
The Lord knoweth.
Knoweth the artist not?

[Sidney Lanier]

Food for thought.

You are killing me by making me wait to see you put a finish on one of these beauties. :-) I know it is going to be worth the wait. A friend from Wisconsin. John

Is the same cutter (which is also impressive) used for both?
