I’ve had a lot of frustration trying to find decent user H&R planes. I bought one pair that is a little odd – the irons are about 7/16″ wide, but the shape of the iron and plane bottom have more than the typical 60° of arc.
@pjgeorge – Peter, I’ve been hoping to see more of your comments on the Chinese planes. Thanks for the info.
Anyway, I’ve done a lot of research on how these planes were made so I decided to try making my own. I’ll be posting the project shortly in “Tools and Tool Maintenance”. I cheated a bit on the construction method. I also cheated by not using quartersawn beech, too. But hey – this is just an experiment.
