Shady, I was doing so well until you threw that in...  Hmm, not a way I'd considered, I must admit, but a method I shall keep in mind. Ta.
Cheers, Alf |

| Yup: just to make it clear, the 'tenon' stub should be shorter in length than the height of the plane's side, and the shoulder a fraction less deep than the plane's width. Make the cut with the plane on it's side, which gives maximum registering surface for when you subsequently mate the 2 pieces. If either bearing surface is longer than these dimensions, the unplaned bit may throw your mating surfaces out of alignment. Lie the whole thing on a jointer table or surface plate and squint at it a bit... |

Despite saying nobody wanted a small cheap surface plate when I asked last year, APTC now stock one. Well, it's small anyway, at 12" x 9".
I hope, at that price, it's 'A' spec.

I have to say, I'd hate to be without mine, which is the same size, 'B' spec, and 14 dollars, carried as hand luggage by a friend visiting the US of A. My friend has long arms - at least he does now...

I never tire of hearing that gloat.
Just as well as too...
Cheers, Alf
Sorry BB, couldn't resist. I'm only kidding, of course.  |
