Krenov smoothing plane, computer laptop holder, jessem router lift, Incra LS positioner,and a coping sled. The only plane I had was a cheap block plane. I bought the book Making and Mastering Wood Planes by David Finck and also bought his blade and chip breaker. Wow does this plane work great I am getting shaving .001 and .002 thick think I will make a few more. Just saw the computer holder but don’t remember who made it but thanks. Recently installed the router lift and Incra positioner can’t say enough about both of them.PS. The plane is made out of Black Locus. ps. I used my old router plate to make my coping sled.

Love the plane. Is the laptop holder the same one that was in Popular Woodworking?

Very nice indeed! I have a Krenov style block, #4 and #7. Next is a #5 with a scrub blade and a regular blade. These planes work so well!

Very good, Bill.
It sure is rewarding to get shavings like that out of a homemade plane, isn’t it.
And the sound of the shavings being made is music to my ears!
Looks like a great router setup.

Nice plane. That’s a great book. Its helped me make a couple and it certainly improved my “plane” skills.

Busy Boy.
Good for you, all kinds of new stuff.
Love the plane. Hate Black Locus, the tree (weed) that is. I just cleaned up a bunch of it from the storms we have had. It is a nasty plant. But I guess I should have kept some wood. Did not know that it was so useful.

Nice looking projects. I especially like the plane. Nothing feels better in your hand than a good home made tool. When it fits your own hand it makes it much more of a pleasure to use.
