HandyDan Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 Looks great. Nice heavy iron in it too. Dadio and FlGatorwood 1 1 Quote
Grandpadave52 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 WOW! Another working piece of classic art. Very cool on the contour with the holly. Thanks for the extra work adding the medallion. Makes it that much more unique setting it "plainly" apart from anyone else attempting a copy. None finer than a "Dadio" handcrafted plane! Dadio, Stick486 and FlGatorwood 2 1 Quote

Another plan to put in your portfolio for future use when you send us all a Christmas present. What wood is the medalion made of it looks like it is red? Maybe redheart.

CORRECTION: That is Maple accent strip, The one I am doing now is Holly, I am changing the design a little, I don't like the way this one feels. I guess that is why I make a prototype.

Grandpadave52 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Is the iron one of those you purchased earlier or is it a different brand? Looks much thicker almost like a Hock iron. Edited March 8, 2019 by Grandpadave52 typo FlGatorwood 1 Quote

Looks much thicker almost like a Hock iron. It does look thicker for some reason,Dave. It is a Stanley 1 3/8" block plane iron. A Hock iron would work good in these planes, but at $45./ ea. I can't afford that. Herb Gene Howe, Grandpadave52 and FlGatorwood 2 1 Quote
