A small bit of the raw material.

Nice size shop you have there, and thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like you enjoy your jig making!

And is that a double hollow plane iron?! What's up with that?

[Brian]

Nice work Cranny,

Wow, those tables are massive!

[crannygoat]

Thanks Brian and Chris. They are massive tables, hence the big shop. I didn't make any money on them, but they got me a shop. My itinerant carpentry days may be over.

Chris, that is the chipbreaker that you are seeing with a double grind. I acquired that plane at a discount from Suzuki-San. It was used as a demo in a class for setting up planes, taught by M. Laine. I guess the chip breaker pin was located poorly and he chose to grind the chip breaker. It seats under the pin very nicely now. Unconventional, but effective.
