Restoring another "Woodie"
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2016 12:09 pm
About wood planes....
Certain styles with the top parallel to the bottom can be quite nicely trued with the Overarm routing operation. Here I've taped an old British (maybe Australian she-oak) plane upside down to a wood sled. I was able to flatten some tapers and hollows in the sole....
After more work fitting the wedge, sharpening, etc., it is starting to work pretty nicely!
