Chisel Plane, COPY CAT, X2

NICE !
It’s great to see the followups to ideas posted here, and even better
the reduction of the scrap wood pile.

Real cool idea and use for what might be scrap in other shops. Good work!

I gess you just have to make a match set of wedges to the gift as well…lol

Good job.

A plane is nothing more than a jig to hold a blade. This example reinforces that statement.

Very cool idea, must add to favorite file…BC

good idea, what angle are they at?

from what I have seen in the video they are at 45 degrees. By the way nicely done

Awesome work, I can see by the forth pic the reason for needed available adjustment

The bed of the frog is at 45 to the sole and the top cut is 51 degrees to the sole. Brian gives the angles and a video demonstration on cutting and fitting in his post, Chisel Plane 2.0
If I make one for the paring chisel I’ll make the top cut about 48 deg. to start with on a test piece. Just enough room for a wedge since the paring chisel has a parallel top and bottom.
These were fun, quick little projects that may be starting me off onto a path of plane building.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

Great hand tool idea. It’s on my “to-do-list” already ….
