Marv the screw does press against the iron. What you are seeing in the second picture is a brass bedding seat that is a part of the integral bedding plate and the pressure of the lever cap screw presses the iron against that seat. With this method I can refine to the bedding to a very minute degree just by changing the height of the bedding seat.
This is a 50 degree pitch plane. The bedding seat is milled to be in perfect plane with the bed angled part of the sole. The pitch is not to be adjusted on this plane as it would have an adverse effect on the mouth size which in this instance is an aperture of .004. Ron

Impeccable workmanship, Ron! That coco looks a lot like a slab I've had for almost 10 years now. I'm reserving some of it to make replacement handles for a couple of my back saws, and perhaps retrofitting my LN 4-1/2 tote and knob.

W nice looking, and no doubt a very efficient plane if all of your other work is any indicator. Tease me Ron, how much? Also what are the dimensions.

Gorgeous work as always. Glad to see you're still in the saddle.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I'm well into the next one with Olive Wood. I enjoy Olive, unlike Cocobolo it doesn't try to kill me.

Ron, have you ever used mesquite?
...Naval Aviators, that had balz made of brass and the size of bowling balls, getting shot off the deck at night, in heavy seas, hoping that when they leave the deck that the ship is pointed towards the sky and not the water.

Martin I have not used mesquite. I only have one tool with a mesquite tote. A saw from Bad Axe Tools.
