Hi BP. I have made a couple of laminated body planes now and got to try something differernt on the latest one. The idea is simple and came from a YouTube video by a boat builder. Make the billet longer than necessary and drill 2 holes (to match whatever dowel stock you have) through the sides, at each end. Cut the cheeks as normal, cut centre section for bed and throat and when glueing up use the dowels to re align the parts. Once dry cut to length and dowels are gone. Hope that makes sense

I think we should be calling that a design feature,
Not a fix.
It just sounds nicer.
Cheers Matt.

And in that vain, I've removed the wedge stops which was easy with a heat gun, hide glue was used. These are going to be replaced with ebony, which I'll shape before installing. I think that will look great.
The other reason for replacing them is that I had hope a single 1/8" iron would suffice. It did not and there was plenty of chatter so I need to widen the groove to put the Dunlop iron and chip breaker in. If this works as well as I think it will, I'll purchase a new set, maybe another old set.

Started planing some ebony for these wedge stops and realized I hadn't done a very good job sharpening my smoother. Really??? Oh well, after giving it a proper sharpening it shaved the ebony so easily, I was giddy with satisfaction.
Here's some pics. I have a different idea as to how I'm going to shape and install these but this is as far as I got last night. My biggest issue was trying to decide which piece of ebony I wanted to cut into. I have a nice little stockpile of it given to me by a friend.

The Ebony Design Features, look excellent,
I reckon they will contrast well with the Oak.
Cheers Matt.
