Bedding the Iron on the Coffin Smoother is a lot of work
Well I received the steel for the plane iron yesterday and sawed off 6" of the 5/32" O1 steel. This is the size that the plan calls for. I will start with that but if the mouth gets to large than I have some 3/16" steel for backup. When I roughed out the bed and mouth I must not have been very careful because the bed is not very flat and it is going to take a lot of work to get it acceptable.
I mark the back of the iron with dry erase marker and bang the iron threw the mouth to leave marks on the bed. The high spots have marks and these I can shave down with the floats.
It is a slow process but I have to get the bed completely flat.
So here is today's video.
