This is a plane made for a luthier – he wanted a small scrub plane for roughing out the tops and backs of violins and cello’s.
Timber is Pau Rosa with a 30mm wide O1 steel blade. This plane is pretty small and can be used “one-handed” – it can remove wood pretty fast and is a real blast to use!
Hope you like,
Phil

Very nice. How did you configure the mouth?

Thanks for your positive comments, Folks!
Wayne, I opened up the mouth up for a regular shaving then made it wider and wider until it would pass what I thought would be the largest chip you would reasonably take.
Scrub planes are such a blast to use – if you’ve never tried one you will be amazed how much wood you can remove so quickly :)
Best regards
Phil

I’ve been thinking of getting an old stanley and giving it a try or perhaps tuning a Jack to work as a scrub. Given how much I like my miter plane, I may have to consider getting a Philly scrub plane.
