  16. One suggestion is to buy a big enough piece of lignum vitae (or other
  17. wood) and dovetail the thing in - use a sliding dovetail crosswise
  18. on the plane.  Alternatively, but not as nice, use a box-type of
  19. joint.
  20.  
  21. The better handmade planes I've seen use this technique.
