Does this offer any clues as to what you plan on doing with the dovetailed transitional planes? I’m sure I’m not alone in saying I can’t wait to see what you have in mind for completing them! I can’t imagine that you are planning on cutting through the soles as one would traditionally (and looks like was done on these) do to hollow the blade cavity out.

Actually, I believe I misspoke. On second glance, it appears as though I was mistaking the exposed quatersawn grain for resaw cuts. It shouldn’t surprise me that you hollowed the cavity using a mill.

Hi Edgar
You have worked out the answer yourself. Yes the throat area is cut out using the mill. I do not put my trust into adhesives which is why when using a laminated sole (as in my T21) I have used a positive jointing method. Even if the glue breaks down the joint is still mechanical. The T21 blog will be started very soon – probably over Christmas.

Looking at these lovely photos of the unique tools reminds me that when you see a tool stamped “Karl Holtey”or even an unstamped model it means no compromise! I am looking forward to the T21 blog over Christmas just hope it doesn’t clash with the Queens speech or Dr Who!
Merry Christmas to all readers of Karls Blog
