068 Router plane rescue
Some tools deserve for the rescue. Even when the tool is not so useful, it can give you the lesson and that s the goal in that project. I ve always wondered how that high angle routers works (60 degrees), but i ve never had a chance to check it. Since i got that plane i felt temted to rescue it and lern my lesson. I stated the plane is good only for shallow dados or tenons cheeks in hard wood, but it s not comfortable to use need to keep an eye on the the same level to see the iron or work blind. I m gonna keep it as a comparmison to other router planes, and for a beauty of it :) As the iron i used an old broken paring chisel made by WARD. I noticed that the tang is almost the same hard as the edge, so it will be enough for this job. I cutted the tang and regrind the bevel without loosing hardness. Oh, the wood i used was boxwood, but you probably know it; ) I ve experimented with lighting (less light), so the video looks a little bit different. What do you t br, br,
