made by CHESTER TOOLWORKS LLC and they are made from precision ground 3/32" thick O1 tool steel and are 5/16" wide. Snakewood, East Indian Rosewood, Brazilian Tulipwood, or Gabon Ebony. 44.00 for the snakewood and shipping 39.00 and shipping for the other woods. New plane adjusting hammer CTW hammers are designed specifically for adjusting the blades and wedges of wooden hand planes and infill hand planes. The polished brass and Lignum Vitae head is weighted toward the brass striking end and is designed so that it won't mar or mushroom the blade like steel hammers. The Lignum end is of a smaller diameter and is used to tap the toe or heel of the plane without leaving dent marks. It should also be the end used for tapping wedges tight since it won't damage the heel of the wedge. Handles are individually shaped from Quartersawn White Ash with the grain oriented to prevent the runout which weakens many other hammer handles.

45.00 plus shipping. New plane idea's

Knight Toolworks in conjunction with Harrolson at

have had these custom made Japanese irons made for western planes. These are the first and only hand forged/laminated Japanese irons that will fit a regular wedged plane. They are 2" wide and 5.25" long and are a bit over ¼" thick. They will drop into any knight Toolworks plane that uses a 2" iron with just a little mouth and wedge adjustment. They are made from blue steel (holds and edge longer then pretty much any tool steel on the market) and wrought iron. I believe these to be the best irons out there over O-1 and A-2 irons. They will hold an edge longer then A-2 they will get sharper they will leave a deeper/cleaner surface and they make the plane easier to use. They will really help with tearout too. They are hand stamped with Shizu Tani (tranquil valley) Shipping is 5.00 including insurance.

Please check my page for all my planes

I also have razee jointers and jack planes and scrubs.

I have great looking/feeling coffin smoothers All planes now have setscrews to center the irons in the body and make adjusting the iron easy.

All planes are sanded/planed and finished with a special oil and wax finish.

Have you ever thought of doing one with screw adjust stems ? Your brass clamp is surely nicer than a wedge, but when I'm using my antique ploughs I _much_ prefer the one with the screwed stems to the wedge lockers.

[Steve Knight]

yes but I want to see if I can sell enough to justify the cost. I would have to have someone make me all of the parts. I don't have a lathe for the knobs and don't really want to buy the stuff the cut the threads.

[Andy Dingley]

Lathes are cheap and easy, it's all the chisels and sharpening kit you start collecting afterwards 8-)

I cut my wooden threads with old Whitworth taps and dies. The thread was originally designed for cast iron, so in sizes of 3/4" and upwards, I find it works fine for fruitwoods or hornbeam.

[Steve Knight]

never cared for lathe work. not sure why but it has always turned me off. plus the extra time may be too much.

since I would be doing tropicals think it would work?

[AAvK]

Steve, I sent you an idea for a new plane, in your email.

[Steve Knight]

got it. I have thought of a scraper plane but I hope I can make planes that eliminate scraping.

[AAvK]

I caught the reply thanks. I think you should make that a link to an explanation for that on your site: "why don't I make scraper planes?". I still think folks would buy my idea though, from you.

[Steve Knight]

I was thinking of a say no to scrapers sign (G)
