In light of the success of the recent marking gauge swap, we've decided to swap some shop made hand planes.

Dates
There will not be a last day to enter, as long as you have time to build the plane by the following deadlines.
Time frame - shipment by Oct 15th.
Since I'm trying to match up plane types, and I want to ensure everybody who gets a plane sends a plane we'll do this a little different than the last.
As soon as you've got you're plane completed send me a photo @ LJ-swap@gmx.com and tell me what it is and what you would like. At that time I'll match you with the next available slot. If you don't care what you get, then that will help me out. PLEASE add your address in the same email as the picture.
Oct 10th for the deadline to get me a picture of the completed plane.
Send a picture as soon as its complete.
Obviously the longer you wait, the less chance you'll get a requested plane.
Even if you've never made a plane before, PLEASE join in. There are lots of folks here to help out.
Most of all, have some fun.
we will limit the plane making to basically wood. The body has to be wood, and it has to be a wood suitable for a hand plane. No pine or poplar or cedar, etc. Extensions like bars, sole mortises, wedges and inlays can be alternative materials if desired.
Please send a PM, even if you post it here.
Same rules as previous swaps
-no posting pictures before your recipient has received the plane.
If you are outside the US, please note that in your PM to me, and tell me were your located
Rhett has made the following offer (Good for 1 new iron only)
If you order a "half-ashed" blade from my site and put "plane swap" in the comments of your order, I will send the blade with the primary bevel already ground and a sandblasted finish. All you would then need do is a quick final honing.
Be Good
