I usually leave the fitting of the rear infill until after the peining and riveting, as then I can set the bed height in the confidence that nothing is going to change or move. To do this I temporarily fit the wedge with rivet in place (unpeined) so I can mark out the bed line, then I remove the wedge so I can plane down to the bed line. Also I take an intermediate skim off the sides. This assists in my work holding for the drilling and tapping of the two screws that secure the adjuster. This is done through the last rivet and spacer.

There is a lot of missing information in this blog but I don’t think anyone is the wiser for knowing this. This plane is definitely the most difficult plane I make.

In picture 6 you appear to be flushing the dovetails and rivets. But I cannot help wondering why the rear infill is not riveted and peined at this stage ? I am absolutely sure that you will as always have a very good reason for this. But me being me I would like to know what that very good reason might be ?
Oh and may I just welcome Dave back from his big adventure !!! I also look forward to catching up with him very soon.

Thank you for your compliments. The still photos are a compromise time wise because I find the plane making alone takes up 100% of my time. The purpose of the blog is just to give people a glimpse into my work. Also there is a lot of information missing as I forget to take photos, but there is still enough to tell the story and it is not supposed to be a step by step how to do.

I am simply amazed at your work. I am of limited skills but certainly admire the beauty and functionality of your planes.

Besides the still photos, do you have any videos of how you work / how you make these? I’m sure a student at a nearby school would be able to assist you with both shooting and editing. It would be wonderful to watch.

Beautiful, just beautiful. One day I hope to be worthy of putting one of your planes to actual use and give it a life for which it was made.

I have an ebony one and very pretty it is too! I can say how absolutly delighted I am with it as well. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Now Ime back from my (unfourtunatly extended adventures abroard) I look forward to catching up with my freinds who also collect Holteys and get back to my weekly updates from Karls wonderfull blog. Keep em coming Karl.

The attention to detail in your work is downright scary!! (lol)
