@lorenzojose I made my edge float exactly as you described from some soft O1 tool steel. I have no idea why people harden these things. They are more like funny shaped saws, so you want to be able to file them. I just need to make a side float.
I’m thrilled that you mentioned the blunt chisels because I learned about them a few months ago and was going to try them for making planes. They were described as being good to level and tune the bed. I have some junky firmer chisels that I was going to turn into blunt chisels.
I think I’ll stay with conventional H&Rs. I learned from Tod Herli and was going to just carry on with that method. Procrastination has kept it from happening.
