A few planes

[János]

Hello,

These are some handplanes, I have made over the years for myself. From back to front: a high angle, double iron smoother, with brass sole, a toothing plane, a scraping plane, and a mitre plane (or a low angle smoother, it depends on your point of view :wink: ), with 32 deg bed angle, adjustable mouth, and a double iron. These were made in the traditional way, but I laminated the wood for beauty (I like the look), and because did not have thick enough maple for doing them from one piece.

I think I speak for everyone else whom has/will view this thread, but, we need more pics!!!!! from every concievable angle......please! :mrgreen: . They look like really nice planes, very stylish and contemporary (ie the very simple forms, lines and lamination).

Well done that man! =D>

Wow! I had a hard enough time trying to make my first plane, and that's only a simple beech jack plane!

I agree... More pictures!!!!

Nice planes.

Woodies are not really my thing, but I do like the contrasting laminate look. It was nice here no7-up-for-critique-t49194.html too, but caused a bit of a Marmite moment for some!

Add me to the list for more pictures!

Hello,

I do not have much pictures about these tools, as I have made them for use, and some of them was made more than a decade ago. But a few images,just for you:

This plane has a brass sole plate. I bonded it into place with epoxy, but the bond started to fail after about two years, so I put in a few countershrunk brass screws. They hold well.

The iron is hard to set in this scraper plane as the wedge and blade are upright, so the traditional way of "hit it to set it" of standard wooden planes does not work well.

I use these tools in my daily work, and learned a lot through their making. Making your own tools is great fun, making furniture with them is great pride. And you would be able to tell that you have made a plane on par with LN, LV, or Japanese planes, and it costed as much as a six-pack of beer.

Have a nice day,

János
