  • Chamfer Plane

    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.

  • Looking Back 40 Years, Thousands of Authors

    Looking Back 40 Years, Thousands of Authors

    looking back 40 years, thousands of authors ight from the start, when Paul Roman assembled the first issue of the magazine in his attic in 1975, Fine Woodworking has operated more like an academic journal than a typical magazine. RInstead of having journalists write about woodworkers and what they build, we’ve had the woodworkers themselves explaining how they work. Our editors have helped with the writing—and we take the photos—but the ideas, techniques, and designs have come directly from the authors. Their hard-won and generously shared knowledge has been the strength of the magazine for 40 years. Our contributors have run the gamut from the deeply trained to the entirely self-taught, from machine mavens to hand-tool junkies, from period- reproduction absolutists to makers whose furniture verges on sculpture. Putting a premium on personal expertise, we’ve welcomed all those points of view, often presenting directly opposing approaches to the same problem. In this final installment of Looking Back, we’ve gathered photos that represent the rich array of opinions and techniques embraced by our authors. We’ve also lined up a sampling of contributors on this page. How many do you recognize? To see if you can name them all, go to FineWoodworking.com/extras. 78 FINE WOODWORKING COPYRIGHT 2016 by The Taunton Press, Inc. Copying and distribution of this article is not permitted.
