Looks great. . . works well? I’m afraid to make my first one. Seems addicting.

You did a smooth job on this plane. It is a winner. I love the wood combination as well. How about a series of these?

Thanks. There will be more of these made in the future. I recommend them to all. It is very rewarding to make a tool that works. I got the plans from fine woodworking.

Great plane. Very smoooth!!! Thanks for posting. I can easily see this becoming addicting.

I saw that article in FWW and I really look forward to making my own some day.

This is gorgeous! It really is the most beautiful hand-made plane I’ve seen. I just favorited this. I have always wanted to make a plane. Now I really want to get started (and borrow your design.)

I’ll have to dig ot the FWW article. My subscription is over . . . Shoud renew. I like the look a lot, but what’s really nice is that the “look” is also very ergonomic. I’ve seen many pretty planes that don’t seem very functional. Well done
