First Hand Plane

I love the organic visual appeal of the handplane.

I am amazed at how my Shea handplane glides on the surface of wood. This is a characteristic of wooden handplanes that I was previously unaware of.

I am sure that you will love using this plane. I know I would!

Great work as always.

P.S. I have been showing off your leaf box to friends and family more this week. It is a hit.

That is so cool. I have been wanting to make one too. I’ll have to find that book.

-- Bill from Lithia Springs, GA I love the smell of sawdust in the morning.

Blake, let me get this straight. You’re on your honeymoon,,,,,,, and your shopping for lumber!!!!! thats how you know you’ve got it bad. very nice plane.

Blake, this is a really nice plane that not only looks good but will be a valuable addition to your hand tool collection. This is also a nice start on your personal line of planes as well. :)

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

very nice. I like all the little facets that say “I was hand hewn”.

Just looking at this I thought Krenovain right off the bat. As we all know his eye sight is failing and the only thing he makes now are hand planes. All of his planes are basically made by feel now. They are still very impressive as is yours! James would be very proud of your work!

I second the “I was hand hewn” comment, thats what first stuck out to me also. Good man

Blake,

That’s super sweet. Looks like you recycled an old bench plane blade the way JK used to do before Ron Hock started making blades for him.

Great job. Love it.

Blake…...I see you had other thing on your mind during your HM. I too have followed J K’s ideas in making wooden planes. What a joy it to work w/ something you have made.
