I had picked up this Spiers smoother a couple of months ago and I had only got to use it a little bit. It needed a new blade and I haven't scraped enough money together to get one yet, so today I decided to figure something out with what was in the shop. I had a 3/16" thick, 2 1/4" blade that didn't fit with the Spiers chipbreaker, but since I had success with faking it with a wooden chipbreaker in the jointer plane I just made I thought I'd give it a try. It worked out great and has me thinking about some new plane designs to try in the future.
