Dear Andrew,

Welcome to the list, you'll find that this is a very friendly plane full
of knowledgeable people. I've learned a lot since I joined the list.

I don't know how long you joined the list but there is currently a group
project going on. A while back I asked about chipbreakers in wooden
planes and after that thread got more than 20 replies, Ron Hock proposed
to make a series of irons for a bevel up plane for a special price.

The blades were shipped last week and people should be getting them as
we "speak" so I guess there will be much more activity in the list in
the future weeks (months for some who enjoy they're projects so much
that they make them last longer ;-) about this subject.

Ron said he would be making a few extra blades so if you'd like to join
the project you still have a chance. Here are the links to the archives
where you can find out more about the project:
