Wow, beautiful planes! Nice job.

Handle looks a bit thick.

I thought the thread started by Mr.Grimm reviewing Krenov's book was civil enough, at least where I had left of reading it. He was even coming around a bit to respecting James. That aside, this is a great forum for a newbie like myself to see the work of professionals as well as amateurs...

Yes, our local woodcraft store has a selection of these. They had HSS blades when I saw them.

Chris Schwartz of Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine did a review of a few Clifton Planes. http://www.wkfinetools.com/contrib/cSchwarz/z_art/cliftonP/clifton1.asp
