Hello,
I once found a website (but a search on the wood related groups didn't match !) that explained how to build a (maybe shoulder ?) plane out of wood and 3 brass (or iron ?) plaques that were dovetailed in order to be jointed, as the sole and the sides of the plane. I can't remember if they were hammered or brazed, but then filed in order to get a nearly cast aspect !
If anybody can redirect me to this website, it would be great :-)
Thanks in advance :-)
