A beautiful tool. Great job!

Sure looks comfortable to use, good job Turtle!

Beautiful Plane! Sure glad I subscribe to Krenov’s theory, make them to use, don’t worry too much about what they look like as long as it works and is comfortable on your hands.

A beauty.

A real looker, Jeff! Curly walnut. Mmmmm. Seems you may have enough of that Buck Bros blade to make a spoke shave.

-- God bless, Candy

Thanks for the comments !

Don, you should

Andre, I need to buy krenov’s book,,and a few more

Terry, I made some sandpaper floats which really helped and then fit the wedge with a feeler gauge

wahoo, It is comfortable, had to cut off the handle shape from the original design as it forced the web of the hand too low. The knob worked out pretty good and is in line with the blade which gave it a better feel.

Candy, I thought about cutting that logo out and morticeing it on the wedge

That’s a beauty! I have a laminated wooden jointer that I started and put on the back burner. I think you have inspired me to finish it. I hope it comes out as well as yours. You did a great job. I would like to see some pics of you using it to make shavings. ;-)

That’s a beauty Turtle! One question, what are the reliefs at the top inside edge of the cheeks?

Thanks for the comments guys !

Duck, My take on those bevels are one decorations, and two for when you have to pull shavings from the mouth especially on planes with tall sides, the bevels give you more better access to clean out the mouth.

Bryan,,,,,, Get er Done, its fun figureing how to step it out.
