Ah, ok. I have bought a Kunz No. 50 spokeshave and a No. 16 round bottom plane. Should do the job, no?

Should do, fancy posting some pictures of them?

[Joe]

Coming in the post, when they arrive I'll get pics up as well as my bat-making attempt. Getting a cleft from Gary at Redback, just need to pay. Spokeshave:

Was 3.14oz when arrived. haven't weighed it yet but prob around 3.4oz smallish 30mm edges with a spine of 70mm and should be around 2.12oz once finished.

Nice, look forward to seeing it

[Ryan]

Hopefully be finished by the weekend. I'll post some pictures once complete with full specs.

good lad

any why concaving? because the distinction has concaving! lol

top work ryan like normal

[Ryan]

This one is the standard flat bottom coffin Plane I made in to a round bottom plane. Just need to round of the blade and re sharpen.

[Joe]

How do you plan on rounding the blade?

[Fezballoh]

Should be able to round it off on a banch grinder. Its tricky working with old steel though as it can be glass hard and therefore difficult to sharpen with regular metal files.

[Ryan]

yeah, just going to round it off with my bench grinder then re-sharpen.

[Ryan]

Another update, just been doing a bit at a time. Haven't really had time to spend a decent amount of time on it yet.

Oh by the way this is based on the old 2010 distinction profile.

Spine height 75mm
Edge width 26mm

[Simmy]

cant wait to see this finished

[Simmy]

well ryans pretty much finished the bat

still looks massive! think it needs a bit more concaving for propa M&H profile but looks pretty good to me

crazy diffrance between the usual massive bats i use

[Ryan]

Main difference is that it's got smaller edges. Spine is massive  taps up nice too.

[Simmy]

what is pick up like? or does it feel far to heavy for u to judge pal?

[Johnny]

Awesome!
