Thanks for the question. Yes, there's a 4" ( ...thereabouts-; ) radius to both. The iron is by Ron Hock, you can order them directly from him. all the best~
Thanks for the question and comments. It is...I picked it up this past winter when I 'donated' my Veritas low-angle to the school. It's great. No lateral adjust and a slightly different mouth opening mechanism but they're very similar to one another. Always been a fan. It's also easier to keep mine separate from the students as they all use the Veritas! - ; ) all the best~
Great thanks. So you adjust with a mallet? Do you find yourself thinking 'man I wish this had lateral adjustment'?. Guess it's more like a wooden plane in that regard and that's what I have, apart from two block planes but I keep thinking a LAJ would be quite useful. Again thanks Tom; as soon as I saw your school I wanted to come! The average for a 1 year cabinet making course in the UK is £16-£18,000. Maybe one day I'll visit but for now it's youtube - the great encyclopoedia. I wish you all the best and hope you keep up the fabulous content.
Thanks for the question. As Barry said, it's a polissoir used to burnish some bees wax to finish. Here's a link: theunpluggedwoodshop.myshopify.com/products/polissoir-wax all the best~
Thanks for the question - The glue-up happens in stages, ( which is why I didn't have any footage ) ...start with the two pairs of outside staves and glue them up..., once they're done, you add a stave and/or glue the sub-assemblies together... for tighter curves, you may have to construct a cradle type jig that holds the staves together and wedges are driven to hold them secure while the glue sets up. Hope that helps! For full details, come to the Unplugged Woodshop-; ) all the best~
That's look awesome. It's nice how you manage to get curvature even across the whole surface. Nicely done. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Nice to see you again!!
Thanks brother ~
Yes! Been waiting for another video :) biggest inspiration for my work lol
Thanks Seth!
Nice Mr. Tom!
Great Vid as usual.
Thank you.
Is there a slight radius to the iron, the plane sole, or both? Really nice work Tom!

Great will that be hinged or on a track?
Thanks for the question.
It'll be hinged using knife hinges....

Is that a Lie Nielsen I see there Tom! If so How does it compare to the Veritas low angle jack?

Yes, I adjust with a small plane adjusting hammer-
I enjoy that method.
Maybe we'll see you in Toronto one day!
Cheers~
Great as always....rr
Thanks Richard!
What are you rubing it with after you have planed the curve?
It's a Polissoir, basically just a tight bundle of straw used to apply a finishing wax. I think the one one being used is a French pattern.

How did you glue it up?

Tom Fidgen thank you, makes sense now that I think about it done in steps 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
