Hi Folks:
Thought I’d sho you a New Plane we’re building.
First the preamble:
For years—more than one hundred and fifty—woodworkers have been complaining about the ergonomics of the mitre plane.
Whether your talking about the older square box style mitre or the Spiers improved pattern they were both uncomfortable and awkward to use.
Whether your talking about the older square box style mitre or the Spiers improved pattern they were both uncomfortable and awkward to use.
I decided to do something about that and have added a handle to the mitre===a tall handle with plenty of room for our larger , modern hands.
I’ve included a couple of shots of the new plane.
A couple of folks have had this in their hands and find it very comfortable—so do I.
So now we have a NEW & IMPROVED Improved Pattern Mitre that retains all it’s functionallity as a mitre plane but adds comfort and the ability to use the plane as a low angle smoother.

Ben,
The only question I have, and I think I speak for a large group of us is, when and where can I get one? That thing is beautiful!
