Brese/Kennedy Collaboration - Ron Brese - 11-15-2016
This is the second in a series of plane being made for a patron of our crafts. This is the "JR" version of my Winter Panel Plane, with a great contribution of work from Catharine Kennedy. If you want more of the how it was done info follow this link to my blog: http://breseplane.blogspot.com/

Hi Ron
That is a nice combination (from the two of you). I must admit that I am not a fan of anything that is overdone - a little bling is nice, but too much bling is gaudy. A little engraving is a nice touch. A lot of engraving is too busy ... overwhelming. This one does not feel overdone.
I have always liked the lines of your planes, and this one in particular. It has a harmonious, integrated look - the right length, and a great blend of metal and wood.
Now, when are you going to experiment with a double iron version? That would be interesting!
Regards from Perth
Derek

O.K. That's over the top!

As soon as I get over my general sense of awe, I will read the blog to follow along.
Thanks Ron and Catharine.

Beautiful plane as always, Ron. The engravers touch is a definite plus. Then again I am biased toward the ornate. I was curious why no diamond or other knurling pattern on the brass knob? 360 brass, I assume?
Best wishes

Oh wow.
RE: Brese/Kennedy Collaboration - Ron Brese - 11-20-2016
Ron thanks for the kind comments. The knob is 360 brass and frankly knurling would be easier and faster than the milled groove design. However the milled groove design is actually grippier than the knurl and is a less busy look. When you have this much visual stuff going on in a plane I think it's best to simplify where possible.

Makes sense. Thank you.
