Wooden Shoulder Plane

[Dadio]

Here is my weekend projet. It was from the video Stick suggested last week. I made a mock up, to see if I could build one. See picture. Now I will make a working model.

Did I ever show you the pictures of the mock up I made for the metal Norris Plane?

 

If not I will bore you with them too.

Nice work, Herb. I'd be afraid to use them.... might get a scratch on 'em!

I use them quite often on small bench projects. They are a dream to use, they are light,and smooth,and warm with no sharp corners, (except blade)

Only way you could bore me looking at these is with a spade bit.

Another classic from the Sir Dadio fine line of exquisite planes and shop tools.

Wonder what the membership fee is to belong to the tool of the month?

UH.......That is to cover up an unintended booboo.......

WHen I was doing the radius edge, I forgot the well for the blade and as I was merrily routing along, the bearing plunged onto the well leaving a circular cut. I took a forstner bit the same diam. and cleaned up the hole and made a round insert to fill it back in. It made a nice place to put my Bug. Got lucky on that one.

Well that's a good story too, but I like mine that they were planned.  Regardless how they ended up there they are so very cool and really enhance the character of the plane so...looks like you've got to incorporate that design into the working model. Won't be a Dadio original without them now.
