Interview With Infill Plane Maker Bill Carter

…es yourself, in general work? Bill Carter – Yes, I do. I always use my own planes in planemaking. I also use a Norris and a Stanley, but when I’m doing a bed or something intricate like the front infill on a small mitre plane I use my own planes because they’re suited for the job. H.C. – Do you use floats or anything else for the beds? Bill Carter – I’ve got floats but I never use them. I mainly use a modified chisel. H.C. – Can you give me a quic…

Interview With Plane Maker Steve Knight

…or planemaking? Any machinery or specialized tools involved? Ebony “razee” jack plane. Steve Knight – I have pretty basic tools and most hobbyist’s would have more.

I also have a metal cutting horizontal bandsaw an…
