Saving Some Scraps

Brian,

Great tools! I really like the depth gauge. Looks like the sander will come in handy, too.

Great looking set of tools. Thanks for sharing Brian.

Russell wrote something about snading in one of Zuki’s blog about his chair and I tried it: turned off the noise and just sanded with the hand sander. It was therapeutic. Thanks for the comments

Nice tools

Way to go, there is nothing better than the quiet you can get in the shop if you can get stuff unplugged. I really think the chamfer plane would be useful, nice and consistent bevels.

Nice tools and good idea that saves the enviroment.
Take care & work safe

I would love to make my own tools. And, yes quiet woodworking is very therapeutic.

Your tools are beautiful and look very functional too.

Making the tools is fun, but the greatest satisfaction for me is using them to make something else. Thanks to all for your comments.

That plane is just way to cute. How big is it? It would have been great to see it next to a quater so we could get the scale. Where did you get the iron Brian?

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

The dimensions are 4”x1” the plans were in a magazine (I don’t remember which one and can not find it right now) a few years back. I have a buck bros mini plane that I swap the blade back and forth on. So the blade pulls double duty depending what I am working on.

They are beautiful. You should sell them. How much for a depth gauge?

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

I am afaid that if I make these to make money I would lose some of the enjoyment. Maybe I should reconsider.
