Woody shrinkage

lundi 23 février 2015

I recently acquired a wooden jack from an antiquing friend who knew I love old tools. The price was right -- an invite next time I make jambalaya! Yeah, it's that good. This is the first time though I've come across a plane that has shrunk so much the wedge and iron assembly (its a double) were jammed in. It took A LOT of wigglin' to get it loose.



By nature of wood is this more likely with the larger widths? I usually rehab moulding planes for fun (it's my version of the sickness). I'd like to produce some wooden planes and certainly don't want this to happen in my future endeavors.
