It gets pressed into duty with the holdfasts as I don't want to dent the face of my good mallet. It's more than a little overkill...Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-4842354434624952482010-06-22T04:08:48.191-08:002010-06-22T04:08:48.191-08:00Anxo Mosquera from the north of spain.

You've taken a very methodical process and made it look rather simple. Nice job!TheApprenticeandTheJourneymanhttp://TheApprenticeandTheJourneyman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-3712957257173991422010-06-16T09:12:47.315-08:002010-06-16T09:12:47.315-08:00Brian - I know, I hope some better name comes to m...Brian - I know, I hope some better name comes to me at some point - for now "Candle Rack" works (and it might grow on me).<br /><br />Yes, the dado planes are fun! Nothing wrong with the saw/router plane technique though - works fine. Dado planes come up on eBay fairly regularly - maybe you should feed that lust :) The most common problem seems to be missing nicker irons, so look at the pictures carefully.<br /><br />And yeah, those Gramercy holdfasts are a joy to use! I think I know what you mean about the release - if the arch was higher so more of the shank was exposed, it would be easier to strike and loosen. But I still love them.<br /><br />Extremely Average - Beware the siren call of the planes! No less a figure than the Bard himself recognized the danger, as expressed in this lost first draft of Macbeth:<br /><br />"Is this a plane I see before me,<br />The tote toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.<br />I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.<br />Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible<br />To feeling as to sight, or art thou but<br />A plane of the mind, a false creation,<br />Proceeding from the shavings-obsèssed brain?"<br /><br />Sorry, I couldn't resist :) Just kidding. Get them. Get them all!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-50655664330740984312010-06-15T22:58:33.965-08:002010-06-15T22:58:33.965-08:00I agree with Brian, the wooden Dado plane made the...I agree with Brian, the wooden Dado plane made the story much more entertaining.

They do the job so much faster than my backsaw/router plane method. Tryin' not to get tool lust here though!<br /><br />I can't think of what I did before I got my Gramercy holdfasts, either. I've been wondering if it's possible to weld a little bit to the bend to make them easier to release. Sometimes I just give 'em a whack below the bench.Brianhttp://www.galoototron.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-18769578762191211702010-06-15T16:30:06.617-08:002010-06-15T16:30:06.617-08:00Jamie - Thanks!
