What a wonderful blog piece, the photographs were remarkable. I am really new to woodworking and I probably don’t have the experience and knowledge to fully appreciate how great your plane is, but I wanted to say I think they look awesome.

Hi Andy

thank you for your comments, one always takes a risk with innovations. It would have been so easy to put the dovetailing in at right angles. If I do a dovetailed transitional again I might just do this. As most people have guessed it was more for visual interest.

Dear Karl,
Thank you for addressing the question that I raised _as a question_, that is, not immediately assuming that I was criticizing the design just because I asked about it. It is unfortunate that those of us who posed questions about your planes were treated to insults, including presuppositions about our experience as woodworkers.
I think that you’ll find that the people with the questions on the forums are actually working wood, rather than standing around admiring pictures of tools.
The idea of making modern transitional planes is excellent — I look forward to seeing more.
-Andy

Thanks for the update Karl, and for the commentary on the construction. I’ve little question you’ve thought, re-thought, and then did it again before taking step 1 on this project. Some of those with “concerns” regarding movement, really don’t know you very well! (lol)

Cheers,
Steve
