Sorry it looks like you mis-understood the question. I have now done a new blog explaining it. But you are still welcome to come over those snowy mountains.

just a Guess???

A question has already been asked about the brass bushes and I know you know the answer. Do you want to finish of answering if Edgar hasn’t worked it out yet?

The flats are machined to half the depth of the thread and pitched at 120 deg. When they are screwed down for the last time, cemented in an epoxy resin …. are you ahead of me?

Well done! You are absolutely right. I contemplated over the lining up of these pins for some time. I know you can’t be sure of the direction of all the grain but I feel that it was still the right way to go. As it happens two of the pins are in line with the 45 deg blade bed.

More blog to follow which will show what you want.

At first glance, they are rotated an odd amount so that nothing seems to line up or be symmetrical in any way. Then. after a bit, the genius shows through; I assume this is so that no two posts are aligned in the structure of the wood grain?

Very nice. I would love to see some imagery of your technique for milling out the cavity and throat spaces. I recently rebuilt an old Bridgeport knee mill with my dad; neither of us really knows how to use it. I would love to build a much simpler version of a milled wooden jointer.

The openness of you and your shop has been refreshing and inspirational. Thank you! I look forward to an “open source” Holteyplane design someday even if it’s just a simple little something.

makes me want to travel up through all that snow in the Grampian mountains to see it my self …cant wait to see the finished plane put together how about a photo of a brace or three of the finished ones when your ready. You mentioned nails I have some 6″ nails should you need some for a future project?
