66757 bugbear@c... (Paul Womack) 1999‑08‑19 scrub planes
Having finally got a decent way to search the last 5
years of porch-dom, I've been reading about...

...lots of stuff.

Anyway, having read many drools over the galootishness of
scrub planes,
Have any of the herein assembled gallots *MADE* a
wooden scrub.

I have in mind a Krenov/Hock style body,
and an old woodie (tapered, heavy, capless)
blade. I have a  reasonable number of such
blades. They're a bit wide though.

Advice and experience welcomed...
I don't want to radius a good blade, if it's not a good idea.
Old steel is too good to grind away to no purpose.
