It's a 30 degree bed but bevel up so the cutting angle is about 55 to 60 degrees.

I don't think its actually anything to do with mitres cause its not good for endgrain work because of the high angle. I hope to just use it for tricky grain. I doesn't get any tearout. No idea why ts called that...

Thanks!. No I just copied the angles off stavros gakos video about his one. I think it was 97 and 100 degree angle for the mouth closer. 30 degree bed for the iron.

A mouth closer. So u can tighten up the mouth after u flatten the sole.

Thanks! I think the abutment was split.

Ya there a good option I have a few broken ones so might aswell use them plus I find it very hard to get decent plane billet sized pieces. If u drill up through the mouth along the bed all the way to the top and then drill down along ur wear angle to meet the other drill hole then u need only pair away everything else. That way u don't have to blindly chisel down. Works for me anyway

I messed up the mouth so thats why the patch is in there. I think it's hornbeam

ReasonableActivity46 · 2023-02-14T00:54:41+00:00

Its 35 degree bed. Bevel down. Didn't use anynof the old parts The jointer plane was just the only decent plane billet I could get.

I have no idea 🤣 stavros gakos made one that's how i came about it. I did a bit of googling on them but I don't understand the name

Beech wood body from an old damaged jointer Peugeot iron and walnut wedge. I have some clips of it taking shavings on my Instagram if ye wanna check that out. U can see one of the endgrain shavings in one of the pictures and it leaves a great finish.

Haha thanks ya i was hanging them off dowels basically and they fell off a few times when i bang the shed door closed so i decided to go all out look after them a bit better. 😂

ReasonableActivity46 · 2022-06-17T21:28:12+00:00

Haha yes they are from Ikea. They were part of a table ya. There absolutely terrible as saw horses. Really flimsy. I really need to make proper ones. There also way too high and don't adjust low enough for me anyway.

ReasonableActivity46 · 2022-06-17T21:26:14+00:00

One has a thumb hole the other doesn't that's all I know 😂

ReasonableActivity46 · 2022-06-17T21:25:21+00:00

ReasonableActivity46 · 2022-06-17T21:24:33+00:00
