TWO MITER CUTS CREATE THE THROAT OPENING

With the cores (A) and veneers (C, D) between Cut away the 1 W'-long rear of the core the cheeks (B), check the fit of the iron. Add (A/C/D) first. Double-faced tape keeps the

or subtract veneer to get a good fit. core in place during the cut.

With a fresh strip of double-faced tape holding the core to the fence, cut the front of the plane body from the core.

the remaining veneers on the outside of the cores [Drawing 1]. Clamp the core, using the cheeks (B) and scraps as clamping cauls to keep the edges flush.

Quick Tip! Keep the cauls from sticking. Place sheets of waxed paper between the core, the cheeks, and the cauls to prevent these pieces from being glued to the core.

4After the glue dries, joint the bottom of the core (A/C/D) smooth and square to the sides.

t Quick Tip! "Joint" short pieces safely. Apply self-adhesive sandpaper to the cast-iron top of your tablesaw and place the rip fence next to the sandpaper. Sand the core with a side riding against the rip fence.

5 Lay out the throat opening (Drawing 1]. Attach an auxiliary fence to your miter gauge, pivot the head to 45°, and cut a kerf through the fence. Using a strip of double-faced tape, firmly stick the core (A/C/D) to the fence, aligning a layout line with the kerf. Cut the core into three pieces [Photos B, CJ. Keep the triangular waste piece—the wedge (E) will be cut from it later.

6 Set the core (A/C/D) pieces on a sheet of waxed paper on your bench, with the mitered points touching. Glue and clamp the cheeks (B) to the core [Photo D] and clamp the core to the bench.

7After the glue dries, joint the top of the plane body (A-D), then lightly crosscut each end to even them up. To open the mouth of the plane, set the rip fence to take a Vu" or less cut, and then rip the bottom face [Photo E|. Make fine adjustments to the fence position as needed until the iron, sitting bevel down, fits through the opening with an additional Vm" gap.
