I posted these links on a couple of forums, but many here do not travel, and for
then it will be new.

While the recently-released Veritas Custom Planes are the apparent central
focus, the material goes beyond them. they are merely the vehicle that delivers
the ideas.

One thing lead to another, and I wrote a series of articles … four in all. 

It began with the idea that if one could design a plane of their dream, what
what you include? I have a Veritas "custom" jointer and "custom" smoother. I
also have a bunch of alternate parts … and together they offer the opportunity
to explore different combinations. And then compare these with BU equivalents
and Stanley equivalents ….....

You get the message. It became bigger than Ben Hur.

The articles could be a springboard for an interesting discussion here. Some of
it is old stuff (for a few), but there is also new stuff (probably for most).

In order ....
