Project Information

My first all steel plane,0-1 tool steel with a Mopane wedge.It is constructed with a 3mm core flanked in 1mm plates riveted together with 34 individual 2mm rivets,probably overkill but better to have too many than not enough.Annoyingly I seem to have misplaced my 2mm drill rod,something I only realised after I had drilled the holes so I had to turn down some 5mm drill rod instead,very tedious.He is 75mm long by 40mm high.
I have named him Conan the Rebater.

Very nice. I would like to do some metal body planes some time.

Very good job on the plane and the name. I'm curious if the tip of the wedge acts as a breaker and if the area for shavings may be a bit small?

Best,
