Hi Folks
This is a plane a customer requested – a shoulder plane with a 10mm width. The timber is Santos Rosewood and it has a solid brass sole. This plane is tiny, measuring 140mm long and 45mm tall. It is a little delicate but works perfectly.
I found working on such a small scale quite enjoyable (if a little nerve-wracking!)
Hope you like,
Phil

Phil, I like the way you rounded the brass into the throat area which helps give the plane a little grace or movement. I like it! I might even try this one. Thanks!!

Every once in a while you run across some work that shows you just how far you have to go in your own. I’d better get busy…

That is a beautiful plane. Very nice work. I love how the wood color blends for dark to a light color that matches the brass.

I would to attempt to make one of these. Is there a resource for that? Plans or at least a place to look for specs?

Again great work.
