The plane is wonderful and looks better at its job then other shooting planes.

I can easily see your love of carving in this project for sure.
When I get rich I will have Ron make me one and you do the carving.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

The two together look like some of the nicest tools I've seen in the four decades+ I've been a woodworker (started in pre-teen years with dear old, deceased dad!).

I was wondering how the engraving on the right cheek, where the plane rides on the chute, was going to work with the plane sliding back and forth. On a conventional shooting board, I think the engraving might catch on the surface, pick up dust, and eventually score the surface. But now I need it. The plane rides on runners. That must make this plane slide back and forth incredibly easily!

When I mounted this plane on the "No Rock" chute board for testing I masked the attachment plate in order not to mar the engraving on that side of the plane. The new "No Rock" runs on linear bearings and so the same method would be applied. It does move pretty effortlessly and with the mass of this thing it's a very different shooting experience.
