  • 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. Next, the interior surfaces need * Some images appear at http://www.frontier.iarc.uaf.edu/∼cswingle/woodworking/jigs.phtml 1 Cut List Qty Description T W L Notes 2 Plane body halves 1 1/4 2 3/4 6 3/4 Mortise cut 7/8 inches deep, bottom in- ner edge planed to 45◦.

  • 5.10 Joinery
    5.10.1 5.10 Joinery a. the context b. sash windows c. reversible sashes d. sash balances e. casement windows f. transom lights g. room dividers h. H D Annear i modernist joinery j. built-in furniture a. the context The details of joinery concern us here only upon a rather selective basis. Joinery was overwhelmingly traditional and British, inculcated not only by the training of the joiner himself, but by a number of standard texts which were available in the colonies. In a few cases, however, the author of such a text actually emigrated and practised in Australia. In a sense this was true of Samuel Brees, who was the author of the Glossary which will be mentioned below, and who spent time in Victoria and New Zealand. Joshua Jeays, who reached Moreton Bay in 1852, had been responsible for The Geometrical Construction of the Hipped Roof1 and The Orthogonal System of Hand- Railing, with Practical Illustrations of the Construction of Stairs.2 But the most striking example is that of Robert Riddell, who was not British but American. Robert Riddell of Philadephia was an expert carpenter, a specialist in staircases, and the author of The Carpenter and Joiner, Stair Builder and Hand-Railer,3 of 1860. It was published by Thomas C. Jack of Edinburgh in1860" in an edition of five hundred copies. Whether he thought the book sufficient to propel him to international fame, or whether he merely wanted to escape the Civil War, we cannot know, but he and his daughters went to London in about 1861.
