Wood Plane- (Caught the Fever)

Nice job! Looks like Lee J. has started something here.

Man, that is pretty good that you knocked out a plane over the weekend. Seems like it would be a fun project too.

Thanks Tom, it was defiantly fun.

Very good for a new father; how did you have time to work on such? It looks great.
Keep up the good work.

LOL, A jointer makes it quick.

Very nice. I’m in the planning stage to make one myself. Need to pick up a couple of blade assemblies from Hock.

Yeah, I’m in, looks like a great project… Perhaps a mini-challenge is in order….

Great looking plane. I’ve bought a plane iron, hoping to make one someday. Where did you get your plans?

Greg: I looked at Philip Edwards’ web site and made a rough sketch.

I have a Hock blade and chip breaker. I have been waiting for the chance to make myself a plane.

Too hot in the shop now to do anything so I will have to wait for the fall to do anymore

Thanks for the motivation. I order some hock blades, plans, and a kit today. I’m going to give it a run.

Here are links to plans and other info for folks considering making some.

Great work! Never try building a plane but whats this I think I hear the wheels a turnning. Or was that the lathe a turnning? Thanks for the kind words about the finish or my bathroom vanity and towers.
