First Shoulder Plane

very nice job.

Looks pretty good to me!

Maple should be a good wood for it, I would think… from a practical standpoint.

Looks really cool!

Thank you.

Very nice Steve! I like the layout pic – it shows how you thought about this.

I also have to remember that dowel trick you used – sweet.

Elegant plane, you gave it a nice personal touch.
Lovely to see some shavings, from it.
Yes we are a few here that got a lot from this plane building tour with Div, I also learned a lot.

That’s a nice one Steve. Hard to believe it is your first hand-built plane.

Good job. I bet that was a fun project.

Just shows what you can come up with if you do your homework & think about it, realy nice job Steve.
If ever you give up playing with timber, why not photography (brilliant shots) :))

That’s a very useable & good looking plane Steve I have a Stanley shoulder plane & the problem is really the blades are too thin unlike the up market makers but I really like the blade you used was it expensive? I think I will have to make myself one are these the new cutting boards we ask ourselves??

Stefe. A great job. We had a workshop in our woodworking club on these almost three years ago.

They are a fun build. I had a couple of screw ups on my project. The glue job, bur also the hole was started to be drilled on the wrong side of the line.

Ours were at a sharper angle. I bought an extra blade so I might try one like yours.
