Thank you for your point of view. I concur with your conclusions. I knew that some glues are a stronger bonding agent than lignin, but I never envisioned the real meaning of it, until I saw the experiments in the video.
As you wrote it is mostly an academic curiosity, but sometime also from absurd experiments our minds are stimulated. It is something nice to know…

A few months ago I submitted a post called “hairline crack on a 5 1/2 WODEN plane”. I found a picture of a guy who repaired a plane cracked on the side, kind like your one, applying a patch of brass sticked with epoxy glue. I stop did not try it on my cracked plane, anyway I read many positive comments regarding that solution, so I will apply it sooner or later. It might work for your plane too and it is a pretty cheap repair.
Take care and good luck with your woodworking.
Dear Mark and dear Lorenzo,
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer to my post.
The pictures of the plane were taken online from e-bay, they do not depict my 5 1/2 Woden plane.
The cheek of my plane is not nearly as badly cracked as the one in the pics above. At the present time my 5 1/2 is still sitting abandoned in my shop and will not see many cares for a long time since I am still pretty busy with tailoring the shop to my needs and, in the sparse and scarce free time I have, I prefer, for the time being, to spend my time realizing some projects.
Nevertheless, I will eventually tackle that sweet Woden plane too. It has still some life into it, even if some previous owner largely abused/misused it.
I am still on active duty, Lorenzo, therefore can’t wait to retire myself and get the occasion to go around and find a decent welder, which might be able to do as a nice job with brazing as the one you was very passionately doing with your plane.
I wish you both a nice day and thanks again for answering.
Max.
I think it would be easier using a bar of O1 tool steel. I’ve seen some on ebay in the following size 300 mm. x 8 mm. x 400 mm. Considering the target is 7,7 mm, it shouldn’t be too hard removing 0.35 mm therefore obtaining a perfectly square section. I am planning of having the blade cut from the bar, starting from it’s lateral projection. Then i would sand it to 7.7 mm and temper it. Starting from an Allen wrench poses the problem that the shaft should be squared, which is a lot of job, in my opinion.
Any thoughts or suggestions ?

I think that’s the Tyzack cutter…

Thank you for your kind answer.
Yesterday, out of luckiness, I found the attached pics on ebay uk. I will try to use the plane as it is and, if any problem will arise, I might give it a go.
To me it looks like a good idea. I might try to epoxy the “patch” and/or riveting it.Attachments:
