There I did it, I made an infill. It took all of 30 minutes.
I think the time and effort spent really show.
Walt provided the plane. I mentioned the idea of converting one of these inexpensive pocket planes into an infill and he was intrigued by the thought. Yes, I started with, a classic Stanley. It is all held together by friction, with a few taps of a mallet the original, unmodified plane can be seen.
For those of you who don’t know him, Walt is the man to go to for top notch old tools. He has never steered me wrong.

Rosewood? Redwood? I like it.
Mesquite! Pretty, hard, durable, and the most stable wood in the world. Pity it splits so easily.
