I guess it’s time to start tackling the baffles. Not the most looked forward to job. First we laid them out on the bench and figured out what bit went where. Then we set about the thankless task of deburring. Clayton worked the scotchbright wheel, and I got into the fiddly areas with a needle file. This seemed to take a long time! Unfortunately, we couldn’t try any on for size (on the plane that is!) because I need to order up some screws. I don’t know why they don’t come in the kit. It would be nice. I’ll take some pics of the baffles when I start trying them on the plane. I still had two bits left to do the fiddly areas on when we called it a night.
