Centre of Effort - Part II

[Derek Cohen (Perth Oz)]

This is part of my effort to understand aspects of hand plane design. So, a little theorising put to the test with the re-handling of a plane.

Hi Derek, how's W.A these days? Looking at your No3 hand hold is much of it to do with force relative to cutting edge? The heel of your hand pretty much directly behind the sharp bit, of course the Razee design positions your hand closer to that cutting edge as do the Taiwanese stick through the body designs.
