I wanted a small block plane and although I have a couple of small block planes I wanted on that was a little smaller so rather than pay out for an expensive one I thought I'd make one myself. I also thought I'd utilise my 1" chisel as the blade. I used left over off-cuts of some Jarrah that I had. It was pretty easy to make and the shavings I have got so far are nice and clean.

pretty cool

It has a built in but removeable handle. Now when you can't find your 1" chisel look on the plane shelf. :yes:

Nice looking plane! What angle is the "iron" bedded at?

Hi Tim, the angle is 25°. I think I will make a couple of them at different angles. 20° and 15° would be good. The first one only took about an hour to make and I still have some of the Jarrah off-cuts left over.
