Knight Toolworks in conjunction with Harrolson at
I also have razee jointers and jack planes and scrubs.
All planes are sanded/planed and finished with a special oil and wax finish.

Steve:
The marking knives sure look pretty. But I still prefer the long bevel on your "old" left and right marking knifes. The longer bevel edge makes registering the flat side against the plane I need a line parallel to a lot easier than your old double bevel knife. The extra reach sure comes in handy.
As for the pretty planes - I guess once you get the plane ideas down to where you can't possibly make them work any better you just had to make them look "nicer" : ) That maple figure is beautiful.
Not sure about the special hammers though. The little japanese hammer I've got works just fine - though not as attractive to look at.
I'm trying to imagine what your planes will look like in another five years!
best to you and your tribelet.

Hi Steve, It looks like you are having way to much fun. Them new planes are outstanding. I will get back up and see you one of this days.
my problem is they hurt my hands making them. I have never sold enough of them to find a better way to make them. maybe I should find someone to make the bodies and I can just glue in the steel.
I wish I had more new idea's I kind of miss that. What I would like to do is go for a two piece plane. the body and sole and mortise out the middle instead of gluing it up. but I can't afford the tooling right now to do it. but I think it would be an improvement in my planes.
yes that's what I prefer but others don't want to damage their planes.
hopefully something new (G)
Er, no offense, but mortising rather than gluing up is not exactly a new idea. :-)

nope it is not but it would be new for me (G) and I would still use the same design I used now to accommodate the mouthblock.
