The Cincinatti area Galoots had a gathering last July and I was fortunate
enough to attend. Don showed us some of his handmade wooden planes. The
coffin bodied smoother with a Hock blade did quite well when compared to
a Norris A14, also with a Hock blade. This plane also had the tightest
mouth I've ever seen on a wooden plane.

Welcome back Don.
