Thanks for sharing this build, Ivan. I have a cheap electric hand plane that I have thinking about converting to a bed planer. I would like to have full adjustments, though. I’m glad to have yours to look at when I decide to do this. Again, I like how you simplify projects to just what is needed and works well.

Fantastic Ivan. I really admire all the of your well crafted shop-made machine tools.

Your ingenuity is beyond comparison. Excellent way to make power tools more useful.

Ivan bravo, another project on the cheap.

Thanks all.

Good job Ivan! On wheels is a good idea too.
It looks rugged enough for most applications.

I’m a big fan of the use of scrap wood and leveraging hand tools as fixed tools when needed. I’ve done similar with some of my sanding tools, but not nearly as nice as this. Good on ya!

I guess you’re probably a fan of StumpyNubs? Anyhow, check this out:

Full adjustability. The curved MDF thing is the trigger lock that slides in from the far side and pops right out when I tap the forend. You’ve wrinkled my brain about adding to this. (Though, I do like that, when I’m not using this setup, it’s completely out of the way.) I used this for cleaning up the edges of bent-lamination chair arms recently, and could really use some kind of outfeed support table for such a thing to ride on while travelling away from the fence.

I’m realy proud of my last six projects which get to ’’Daily top 3’’ (of 8 in total).
