1.I cut the wafer from a thin piece with a hole saw W/O the pilot bit.

 

 

2.Mark the center on the plane, and lay it into the jig on the drill press.

 

3. chuck up the forstner bit the same size as the wafer and set the drill press depth

to the plane and lock it in.

4. release the drill press quill, slide the shim under the plane. This will give the correct depth, clamp the plane against the fence.

5.drill the pocket for the wafer in the side of the plane.

6. glue the wafer in place.

7.Stamp the bug on the wafer.

8. finish with shellac.

Well Herb I have a plan so you can stop boring us with these pics of planes. Next batch just send them to me and you will not have to post the pic. Thanks for the tutorial on the medallion. Keep up the good work.

OK sounds like a plan,Gerald, here is another picture I will throw in, because you guys seem to like pictures.

Pay no mind to those at the top, they are the rejects,they are for my use.
