Shoulder Planes
Woodworker: Merrall MacNeille
The American-rosewood and steel-sided skew plane is based on the Spiers-pattern shoulder plane. The ebony and cartridge brass plane is based on a stags-horn shoulder plane by George Miller. MacNeille cut the dovetails by hand with a hacksaw and file, and made extensive use of a drill-press cross vise and end mill for flattening and dimensioning. Both planes are finished with Watco oil and wax.
