Great plane. We need some construction photos.

Again that is a wonderful use of scraps and discarded materials. I agree with Karson about the construction photo. I would not know where to begin on constructing a plane.

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for all the comments. I will probably have to wait a couple days to do another. I will post it on the tools forum.

Great job, Marc! Not only functional but good looking as well. Way to go!!

That’s the stuff! Hope you don’t mind if I borrow your design. I just picked up a load of planes and some will work as blade donors. Thanks, Hawg.

Thanks, Tom and Doug.
Doug, the beautiful thing about this design is that it can be designed for any width of plane iron. I am trying to find a plane iron around 1” for my next one. I think woodcrafthas one, but i am hesitant to pay around $30.00 for it as I will only use it sporadically.

Bob, that can be aranged. I am making a second one to post a how-to-do-it. So, I will have 2 of these… don’t know what to do with the second one. They really are slick for cleaning up in a mitered corner, where no other plane can go…LOL

Really, just stay tuned and watch for my post tomorrow or Wed.

God Bless,

I think we need to see a third one made, too, just to be sure! Oh, by the way, I don’t own one like this either! <g>

Seriously though, a great little plane & a good example of recycling Hawg.
