Nice work, I read an article about these one time. I’m glad it works well.

Very nice, I would have expected the blade to be reversed but it it works that’s the ultimate test.

Wow, I am in the market for a shoulder plane, this would work! I really like the design, looks like you really spent some time on the finer parts.

Great job! I’m almost finished with my chisiel plane also which I’ll post. I noticed two differences. I cut the angle of the chisiel 45 degrees and installed the chiesel bevel down. Just a quick test run didn’t produce very good results. Your angle looks a little steeper but those shavings are great. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the great comments!

@Bsmith: The angle of the chisel is at 45 degrees. The opposing angle for the wedge is at 51 degrees.

That looks VERY well done! Thanks for posting!

Very nice! Looks like another interesting project to try.

Looks better than my little 1/2” chisel plane

Also hand-made.

That’s very beautiful! I like the padauk “liner” piece—it’s a striking design element. I’m curious how you constructed that—did you cut the plane body apart, glue on the paduak, and then attach both parts separately to the shoulder element?
