I was lucky enough to score a Stanley Miller repro plane when Paul Hamler made them years ago. He was interested in the casting only, not the blades. We corresponded for a while and I decided to make some blade sets. So fast forward to today. My plane was finished years ago and my blade set was sharpened but never had a home. It was time to set things right.
I started with a piece of 1/4" poplar from HD.
I laid out the set and cut the front and back. I used 5/32 scrap for the inner sandwich.
Then I glued the strips to the back side.
When that dried, I glued up the front side.
I cut the crossgrained sides with the table saw and planed the top and bottom.
And then I used the table saw to cut the box apart. Now my cutters have a home.
