Since I don't have the best place to store lumber it will kindof be on an "as needed" basis instead of all at once. In any case I'llbe glad to share whatever information I come up with. It will probablybe after Brodhead before I start ordering wood.Bob Bailey________________________________________________________________________________

Keep in mind that weight is important. If you look at any of the planes that Berniebuilt all the wood is undersized. He measured to the center of the kerf ofthe blade on the table saw so all dimensions are about 1/16" less than whatis called for on the plans.________________________________________________________________________________

If anybody wants to change Mr. Pietenpol's plans, make thechange toward the lighter side. Everyone wants to make everythingstronger and "better", and oh, by the way, heavier. NOT!!!! Mine camein at 610 pounds the second time around. JimV.________________________________________________________________________________
