1" Infill Shoulder Plane

John Morris

By John Morris

I have been blessed with a bounty of hand tools and wood these past few weeks, it's a long story, after returning from my latest trip, and after sorting through the tools, I found this infill plane among many other gems.

It's a 1" Infill shoulder plane. At this time I cannot see any markings, the hand plane is ready to use now, the edge is excellent and the body is square and solid. I love this plane, and I'll use it.

 

7.5" long by 3" tall, heavy with a square sole to side for accurate registration. Can't wait to use it!

    He may have Gene, but looking at the plane body, there are indicators that an advanced machine facility was involved, just little things here and there that I feel would be near impossible to create in a home shop. But hey, with the man this all came from, anything is possible.

    What is the history of infill planes?

     

    This form of construction became popular around the early 1800's, however the idea of a metal plane with a wooden core goes back at least 2000 years to the time of the Roman Empire. In fact ancient infill planes were discovered at Pompeii during the excavation of that city back in 1926.

    Why "infill"?

    An infill plane consists of a metal body with wood components tightly fit ("infilled") into the interior voids.
