not-so-poorman’s router plane by Richard Groomer
I found a router plane blade by Ulmia in my used hardware store. Because the blade is 5.6mm thick X14mm wide I cut and filed a groove to fit the blade and captured the blade with an electric guitar cover plate. To tighten the blade I have a brass screw and thumbscrew. I want to cut the screw and peen it over the thumbscrew. Any suggestions out there on how to do this? I used 2 pieces of scrap wood for the body. Ash and cherry. I have found ash to be difficult to work with because it splinters easily.
