Great plane, Don! I like your idea of using a transitional frog. Tell us how it works on some nicely figured wood when you get a chance.

Looks cool Don. I think you have a little mad scientist to you, its makes things more interesting.

A lovely little plane Don she should serve you well.

Great idea/use for an old tired transitional. I would also like to hear more about how you like using it.

That’s a great looking plane

I don’t know how I missed your note on the lever cap in HPOYD. I’m glad you found a use for it!

Nice looking plane! I gather by the pile of shavings behind it that it works well?

Hi Don
I must admit I too like to use the depth and lateral adjusters. All that tap tapping the blade isn’t for me. Any chance of a photo of the underside- see the mouth for the blade?

Cheers,
John.

thanks jjw585. I am thinking of doing one at 60 degrees now. In the short time ago I’ve made this, and the little time I’ve had in my shop, I’ve still reached for this on a couple of occasions.
