Karl Holtey Planes at The Best Things

A component picture for the setting hammer. This hammer has a stainless steel shaft through the handle sleeve. The mid section is a hexagon bar which is threaded at both ends and in the rear is a T-nut which retains the assembly.

The hammer head end is also threaded and permanently thread locked. This leaves the thread which screws to the hammer neck, which has a releasable locking compound that allows for adjustment or removal.

There is little more to be said about this plane as it lives up to its reputation, and like the original No 98 it is becoming holtey a1 jointer plane icon. Before that I am committed to a new shoulder plane - which is currently under way - planne is still an infill and it is my intention to phase out all infill planes.

My observations shows that infill planes are DIY orientated and it is difficult to rise above this. Therefore, my focus will be on the No 98 series with new projects in mind. Already I have a No smoother on the drawing board to follow the shoulder plane.
