073 Skewed cofffin smoother - Pt. 1 Pear body

Hello my friends!
It's time for another giveway for those, who decided support me, even when i didin't upload for a long time. I appereciate it.

I got really nice laminated iron, made by Ward. It still have about 20mm of the hard steel plate so i'm gonna use it in the new plane - skewed coffin smoother with mouth closer.

I don't want to make 40-50 minute long video so i decided to divided whole process for the 3 parts. Pear body is theme of the first episode.
Preparing and flattening the iron will be showed in the second episode, ebony wedge and mouth closer, testing in the part no 3.

As you probably know skewed floats are essential tools for that kind of project. It's hard to get or build them so i'm gonna show you how to achieve the same results with chisels and some creativy :)

At the end of the video i soak the plane body into boiled linseed oil and put it to the vacuum chamber for about 12 hours. After that the soaked wood will rest about 5-7 days for blo polymeryzation.
What i want to get is:
- less tendency to moisture absorbing;
- less tendency to wood movement;
- disgusting for all the wood eating insects.

Fell free to leave any ask in comments.

I hope you got good time, no matter with or without my videos.

Cheers
Stavros
