Swing Plane Devices

[mb6606]

I make a simple board out of two 4' x 8' sheets of styrofoam building insualtion. Layed one on top of the other and cut a circle using a cheap soldering iron. I duct taped the two pieces together and use dowels to prop it up. It can also be used standing on end so you can find the true turned shoulder plane on the backswing. You build another half and duct tape together making a complete plane board.
Pretty simple, cheap and lightweight. Not exactly portable or sturdy for commercial use. You could make it sturdier by gluing with contact cement a piece of plywood to the back.

Thanks Mb6606,

I own a hammer and a screw driver. Not sure when to use which? Basically, I'm a mechanical idiot. I'm thinking I am going to go ahead and purchase the one made from pvc pipe. It actually seems very reasonable at $249, and looks very professional. I found Bender's book for making one, but I need to move it constantly, and with my old farts back, I want something very light like the pvc built plane board.

Thanks guys for spending the time helping with ideas. Very much appreciated!

I've been working for years on such a device. As soon as I get the patent process started, I'll o.k. it with Lynn and use this site to unveil it to everyone.

It will fit in the trunk of a car, and you'll be able to hit balls with it.

YodasLuke,

I'll wait and see what you come up with!

I built one using 1x2 frame and 1/4" plywood. It's just hip high and used for tracing thru impact. I hinged it so it folds flat.

I always thought you could make one out of the same materials and concept as the pop up tents. Not sure the development costs would be worth the potential revenue.

While you are waiting for a suitable plane device using a low bench works nicely! You have to laugh at the simplicity!

Bucket,
Copy and save this post- my attorney may need it in the future- and if anything happens to me- please use this as evidence. Please make these notes - "I'll O.K." spelled backwards- that's right - Kill. Notice that he doesn't say everyone and Mike O.!! Make sure that you have them make a thorough investigation of Ted's Trunk for DNA material. Look for my body buried under a cement slab - Note: "Balls" spelled backwards - Slabb!!! When I go missing - sneak over to his house and dig up his driveway - if you don't find me there - head around back to his Patio and dig that up- if I'm not there dig up the foundation!!! You need to promise me - in fact any members that have appreciated - just one post that I've ever made - please commit to following this plan out as one act celebrating my life - if something should happen to me - which I think will happen if I understand the secret codes that I'm seeing in this post.

Hi Everyone,
This is Mrs. Mike O. and well my husband has been missing for 24 hours now and I'm afraid something terrible has happened. Any help that you could provide- I would be deeply indebted to you and if you could find his body - I would give that person my dead husband's entire Homer Kelley Golfing Machine collection.

Sincerely,


Mrs. Mike O.
