Very useful, good job. Is it made of cherry?

Aye, John, it was some scrap cherry leftover from the huntboard project. I will probably be replacing the sole in about a year…..

Very nice Krenov-like hand plane!
I like your rationale for building this plane: “I built a shooting board so I needed a plane that would work on it.”
I am going to build an outfeed table and buy a large drum sander to go with it :)

A wonderful piece of workmanship in making this block plane. A video of this project would have been helpful for many who intend to make a similar plane. Please let us know how you have made a shooting board.

Very nice! I will have to put one of these on my to get to list!

good job! For those of you who haven’t made your own planes, check out www.hocktools.com. They have plans, kits and great blades.

Awesone job
What blade did you use – I was thinking of making up a couple of planes but rather than buying new blades re-using older ones

Hey Pat, I used a blade from an old Stanley block plane I had. You can buy new blades at Woodcraft stores or online if you don’t want to.
