Interesting stuff.... any advice for me, I want to form cutting blades to turn chess pieces.... what type and grade of grinding disks are you using, what steel, and what angle are you grinding at to achieve the basic edge profile...?? Any help on this appreciated.... thank you...
I have similar intentions. Did you ever figure out a way to do this? It gets kind of tricky with some of the intricate detailing of small chess pieces. Still been on my mind though.
Thanks for the video! Its the only one I´ve found that specifically shows how to make a brand new blade for moulding planes from scrach. Thanks!
Very nice to see that this old trade still have interest I'm busy restoring 18th century moulding irons for my planes
Good to see content from Tod -- thanks!
Is there a video showing the final grind and sharpening?

Oven temp was set to?
Was the iron a chisel?
How do you make the wooden body?
Could this be done with files?
Are this steel?
