Chuck, The blade was made from a surgical power chisel blade. It is
.034"/0.88mm Swiss stainless steel. I did the cutting and rough shaping
with a Dremmel w/cut-off wheel. Finished with sandpaper on a block. I
didn't think of it, as I went for the chisel blades first (because they
come in a variety of widths) but at .034" I could have used a piece of
saw blade. roy ---- Chuck Taylor <cft98208@y...> wrote:> Roy wrote:

Roy,

I did a double-take when I saw that quarter (US quarter-dollar coin,
Jeff) next to the small coffin smoother. You really did mean SMALL,
didn't you!

How and from what did you make the plane iron?

Cheers, Chuck Taylor north of Seattle
