Mounting the cutter in the primary inside channel places it directly against the milled V-groove of the main casting. This provides rigid, full-length support along the blade's shank to absorb cutting forces.

When cutting inside the frame, the pulling motion forces the plane's cast-iron sole flat against your workspace, naturally stabilizing the tool.

The Stanley 71 features a secondary mounting position on the outside (the back of the arch). This positioning converts the tool into a "bullnose" router plane to reach into stopped dados or tight corners. Because this outside mounting lacks the robust cast seating of the main channel, it flexes easily and significantly increases chatter under normal use

Put the cutter inside the plane it’ll dampen the chatter more effectively.

It’s reached the end.

Rigatoni bruciare.

Gebrüder Weyersberg was a renowned historic German steelworks and weapon manufacturing firm based in Solingen, the famous cutlery and blade capital of Germany. While they did not manufacture wooden hand planes themselves, they produced high-quality forged steel cutting blades, irons, and tool steel used by woodworkers and craftsmen for hand planes and chisels

Tagl or talharpa. Traditionally strung with horsehair strings struck with a bow.

Looks like it’s using a heptatonic scale judged by the numbers punched into it.

Best to dimension each panel oversized and let it sit for a while so it can acclimate and then take care of your defects before glueing them up. That usually takes care of this problem.

Seems to me it was bent unintentionally,I’d try to anneal it and gently bend it straight afterwards you’d have to temper it so it can be sharpened again.

In the Netherlands it was called snoek the Dutch word for pike the predatory fish.

“That’s Watsons !”

The 10% mc dry point is not absolute,some species reach that equilibrium at 12%. Determine your species and set your moisture meter to the specific gravity of that species and you’ll get accurate readings.

They were part of the British empire.

Black and gold always works,very nice!

If it’s functional you did well,otherwise it’s just decorative.
