There is a maker of premium hand saws in my community that needs a woodworker to make some of the wooden parts for their saws. I'm going to refrain from naming the brand since I'm just doing a trial run, but I'm sure some of you will have a good guess.
They don't actually need me to make the saw handles, but one of the items is a kerfing plane that goes with a frame saw. They need both the plane body and the parts for the frame saw. Most of the work is pretty straightforward, but the one part I'm looking for some help with is consistently cutting the kerf into the plane body for the blade. I imagine fitting an unset blade between a couple of pieces of plywood and having it to always get the same exact results.
I feel like there are some folks that regularly make saw handles who need to get that kerf just right. I'm looking to take a page out of your book for this task.

How do you know you're learning anything if you don't screw up once in awhile?
