Here are a few tools that I made. I could have bought each of them, but I enjoy woodworking not shopping. Each piece of wood (cherry and oak) was saved from the wood pile that was meant to go into the fireplace.
I hate to sand but I actually have a different mindset when using this sander: I need to make a wider one for more coverage. The depth gauge comes in handy when I am boring hole or working at the lathe. The chamfer plane gets more use than the chamfering bit on my router.

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

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

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.

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

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 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?
