Hi again! I was driving home yesterday and the new owners were cleaning out the shop of the previous owner and put out by the road some free wood. Something I always look for when out and about. Anywho, There was some baltic birch, maple bed slats, and under the pile were 4-8ft x 6" African Mohagany!! (It was marked in chalk what it was). It is so beautiful with clear graining. I starting imagining what I could make with it, and I remembered how much I loved the design of this box. Simple yet practical. I'm back to watch it one more time. I have some brass & stainless steel rods that I will be turning the pull from. I just have to decide on which one. So, thank you again for inspiring me!

Nicely done. I really need to get some more sharpening stones. All I currently have is a 1,200 grit DMT, so I don't use hand tools as much as I'd like.

Very nice box, looks a lot like my design actually. I’m curious, why so many jigs for the degree setting? Personally I never use anything beyond 20, 25, and 30 degrees. The brass insert can get you 22/27 and 32 if you really need it and the ruler adds the micro bevel. I’m more of a minimalist in these regards, but it’s what has worked for me. Thanks for making this, it was fantastic.

Thanks for watching! I go up to 50 degrees on a spare blade for my veritas BU smoother so I figured I might as well add the other 2 or 3

SimpleCove Interesting, I hadn’t thought of that, mostly because I dont own one. Now that I am thinking of it, that has a 12 degree sole bevel already, if you are adding 50 degrees with your spare blade, thats 62 degree plane? WHat do you find this useful for? Thanks again.

The templates will eventually be back in stock when I have some free shop time but the brass shim is no longer going to be made due to the time required to make and the brass prices would require me to charge more and I don't have the time to make them unfortunately.

@@SteS Paul Sellars suggests this is only done because naughty schoolboys would bang their planes down on their workbenches. I have asked him if that is the case why manufacturers like Stanley, Irwin, etc. all recommend that you lay a plane down on it's side to protect the iron? Apart from telling me that the people that taught me were stupid he hasn't actually provided an answer to that question. In which case he obviously thinks everyone at Stanley, etc are stupid too!

@@Simplecove Surely resting the weight of the plane on the cutting iron is more likely to disturb the set up than simply laying the plane on it's side? If nothing touches the iron why would its position change?
