Re: Shop made grooving planes

A how to build and use article would be fabulous!

One thing about the how to build articles that I always find discouraging is the inability to obtain a part. Sometimes the writer will say something like you did, about getting some plane blanks, then grinding and reheating and all of the associated heat treatment and metalwork.

While that is pretty cool in and of itself, it can be a slight turnoff. If you write this article, it would be great if you could also provide a good source to buy working irons, it would make the article so much more usable in my opinion.

Looking forward to seeing it!
