  • Chamfer Plane
    Chamfer Plane Christopher Swingley Introduction These plans are for a wooden chamfer plane modelled after the chamfer plane shown in Making Traditional Wooden Planes by John M. Whelan. My plans differ slightly because I used a two piece laminated plane body instead of the single block used by Whelan. My plane iron is a bit wider than his, so my plane body is also slightly larger. Detailed instructions on plane making appear in Whelan’s book and should be consulted as a supplement to these plans. Plans The first set of plans show the body of the plane. Two pegs through the body will strengthen the connection between the halves of the body. Constructing the plane this way is much easier because we can saw and chisel the mortise. 6 3/4" 2 1/2" 2" 1 7/8" 2 7/8" 1 1/4" Left half Left half Right half Interior side Heel Mortise 2 3/4" 2 3/4" 7/8" Heel Toe 1 3/4" 3 7/8" 1 7/8" 1" 3/8" Left half 7/8" Bottom side 1 1/4" 3/8" The following diagrams show the dimensions of the stop that forms the throat in front of the iron. It rests at the front of the mortise in the body, in front of the wedge, and iron. (Insert figure here) Construction Notes *Construction begins by sawing the two halves of the plane body to size.

It was a single lane structure with a prominent sign warning that anyone driving faster than a walk would be assessed a fine of one dollar' Whenever I see a picture of a horse drawn sleigh about to enter a covered bridge 1 want to yell, "Stop! There's no snow in there." 1 saw my second covered bridge, a sturdy two-lane structure with a side footpath, at the entrance to the Shelburne Museum grounds. Essentially a preservation, the museum began its work none too soon. Had its building program not been under way in 1949 when the state decided to replace its last double-lane, covered bridge with a concrete structure, it is certain that this kind of Vermont landmark would have i disappeared entirely. The 168 foot bridge was dismantled and Bill and curator Jean Burks reassembled timber by timber at the museum. Probably One of the first books on tools that I was able to buy because they were fairly dark inside, covered bridges were when I first began collecting is Woodworking Tools at the often referred to as "kissing bridges," but that's another story.
