I have a few projects coming up that will require some rather large matched hollows & rounds and I've had some trouble finding what I need with out spending over $1k for a matched set of 20. SOooo it's time to make em myself...
I was unable to locate any 8-10/4 beech locally however I was able to trade a guy over on the barter site for some 4/4 so I decided to go with laminations to get the ball rolling. The picture starts off with a glued up blank marked out for my tongue mortice and mouth. I'm basing the dimensions and angles off of my other planes so the iron bedding angle is 50 deg and the opposing mouth angle is 60 deg.
I got the mortise started, then used a hand cc saw to establish the mouth.
