Excellent work, first time I’ve seen lemonwood used on LJ. DIY moulding planes seems like a slippery slope, could easily end up with a lot more

Very nice. Where did you get the blades?

Many thanks for all these comments.
I bought the blades from Phil Edwards at “http://www.phillyplanes.co.uk” If you like hand made wooden planes Phil’s site is well worth a visit.

Wonderful planes Jim and I like your choice of woods. On that note, where do you buy your hardwood from? I still need to find more suppliers in the UK.

Thanks Andy. The wood used in the planes was from Timberline in Tunbridge “http://www.exotichardwoods.co.uk”
They have a good selection of timbers from whole boards down to specially prepared pieces for musical instruments and boxes. They also do mail order if you can’t traverse the M25!

I especially like your boxes and hand planes. Best thinh about both projects is just how useful they are!. The hand planes are very quiet as opposed to an electric router. It is much nicer making curls than sawdust.

Doug,
Making shavings is much more preferable to saw dust! Glad you like the planes.
