I've been saying I needed a miter plane to use on a chute board if I had a chute board. After all the palavering with Wayne and Douglas over the weekend, I decided it was time. I started looking for material Sunday night and this morning I went to the shop at 6 AM. I found a piece of Ash and a...

I was asked by a neighbor to make a little rough style shed that she could put her manger items around for her home at Christmas. I was looking for some pallet wood wasn't able to find any so i looked in the workshop and I only found a couple of little pieces. And then I found my red cedar...

I finished 3 of the 4 bubinga, krenov-style hand planes I have going in my workshop. My local woodcraft offers a class on how to make these planes which i took back in february. I decided that rather than spend the money on a fancier plane, I would rather keep myself busy for a few months. I...

This is my first attempt at making a wooden hand plane. It isnt anything fancy by any means! i made this one kind of basic just so that i could see if i understood the process of making wooden hand planes. i have a bunch of 8/4 ash so i cut out a blank and milled it up! the plane iron is from...

Lee Valley Tools puts on lots of different class. A couple of months ago I signed up for the Hand Plane class put on by Doug Haslam (I have taken all of the classes he puts on there and hope he comes up with more). I had my doubts that the end product would be any good but at a minimum I would...

A DIV and Mafe inspired creation: My first homemade plane. The shavings shown are some of its first. I bought a blade from Hock, and basically followed the instructions in DIV's blog. I used a piece of maple that was lying around, as I was too chicken to try it for the first time on some...

I finished making a 6" block plane, inspired by both James Krenov and William Ng today and I am pretty happy with the result! I sat in on a class that William taught, and I got caught up in the idea of making some of the hand tools I work with. That, coupled with Seeing Yeung Chan's Tools up...

Here is a hand plane I recently made. The body is Walnut and the pin is Padauk. The pin is mortised into the sides and spins freely in the body. The pin has a flat on one side for the wedge which hold in the Hock blade. The bed is angled at 50 degrees. Surprisingly it works well and takes nice...

Hey, fellow Lumberjocks: I finished these babies - the one on the left more or less equivalent in size to a Stanley No. 3, the other to a No. 4 - some months back in preparing for the Woodworking in America show in Winston-Salem. The infill is cocobolo rosewood, cut from a big chunk that...

Bloodwood and Ironwood sole, Hock blade

The smaller hock marking knife blade is set into some hard maple scraps from my workbench. Finished in danish oil and wax.

A quick build to add another marking knife to my arsenal. This blade has sat unused on my shop for nearly a year! The horror! LOL. I shaped the blade a little on the grinder and belt sander, cut and formed matching knife scales from East Indian Rosewood and Elk antler, and added red...

I needed a new plane so I figured I should make one. This one is about 7" long. Its made from scrap maple and purpleheart with a lacewood wedge. The bar is a piece of 3/8" aluminum rod (the aluminum might be a little soft since it has already bent - but still works fine) and i put a 1-3/4" Hock...

This is a project that I made for my grandfather. He was with my wife and I in July when we visited Roberts Studio and requested me to make this puppy for him. He is 95 and should be an inspiration to all of us. For his 90th birthday he took flying lessons, up until last year lived by...

As you can tell, I'm on an infill kick these days. Here's my #4 size. Its my own design. Its made from a #4 sole, African rosewood, some scrap metal and a Hock iron. The chip breaker is from an old wood body plane. Finish is Brush oil Cap screw is a plumbing fitting with rosewood infill. Its...

About 4 or 5 years ago (who can remember those kind of details) I bought 4 marking knife blades from Hock Tools I bought 2 of the 1/4" marking knives and 2 of the 3/4" blades. I kind of sharpened them up and put them back in the package. After giving one of the 3/4" blades to a friend. He has...

I built this chair for the entrance of a home. Cedar burl for the seat pan, cedar and fur roots form the rest of the chair. I incorporated old glass fishing floats for a cool effect. Thanks for looking Jeffro

I had already made a curved sole hand-plane but did so very poorly. So when I needed a compass plane, with curves along both axis of the plane, I decided to remake the first curved one as well. I had some scrap bubinga and curly maple laying around so I had motivation to make them look a...

I ordered a Ron Hock spear point marking knife and two single-beveled violin knife blades. These are the handles I made for them. I picked up an odd-sized cherry board from the bin at Rockler. I cut off a chunk long enough to make a handle and ripped that into three handle-sized blanks using...
