Good eye.<br /><br />This is my favorite block plane, with the knuckle joint which is so much more comfortable in the hand than any other, in my opinion, and the Norris adjuster, which is much easier to use than the alternative.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-27736376483879444602016-01-04T02:45:56.351+01:002016-01-04T02:45:56.351+01:00That looks like it turned out great.

I do like that panel gauge more every time I see it.

I'm thinking of making another one, because it was a great project. Dig in there far enough, and you will find a scan of the original, in case you'd like to do a reproduction.<br /><br />Cheers, and happy New Year to you and yours!Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-25115657561952077032016-01-01T18:32:38.657+01:002016-01-01T18:32:38.657+01:00Good stuff, Brian, and Happy New Year.
