One way to get a high tooth count FTG (Flat Top Ground) blade is to buy a laminate blade. It will have lots of teeth at a low rake - perfect for joinery. Get it sharpened as though it were a FTG blade. This will be pretty good the first time it's sharpened, and perfect after the second sharpening. Much cheaper than a specialty joinery blade.

@@MakeSomething on my own mallets, I usually taper one head about 10-15 degrees from square and leave one square. My last mallets are ugly as hell, but heavy and useful. I used solid logs of green Osage orange as my base wood for 3 and hickory for the other. The hickory is laminated and the Osage orange I chiseled a hole all the way through and fit the hole to the handle, then epoxied it together.

I have one suggestion for the plane, getting your wedge out would be difficult without damaging the wood. I propose a approx 20mm forstener bit at a shallow angle, say 15 degrees to the length of the wedge, this gives you an edge you could either tap with a small hammer head, or with a short piece of dowel to remove the wedge.
@MakeSomething
3 ай бұрын
Good ideas! I should have mentioned that tapping the back of the plane with a mallet usually knocks the wedge loose.
