Hi! Thanks for tracking me down!
Chris, I'm not sure as to why you've been unable to contact me via my web page, I've not received any messages through it in months so I guess that something's wrong, I'll get my mate who set up the site to have a look at it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately my little venture has hit the buffers as the increasing cost of water jet cutting made the kits unfeasable to produce at a reasonable price. However, the plane in question is pretty straightforward to make from scratch, you just need some 4mm brass sheet and a few basic hand tools. Drop me your email address and I'll send you a copy of the instruction manual which goes into detail about the making of the plane and lists the tools needed to make it.
I've not done much woodworking of my own for quite some time, but my job as a Design and Technology / Engineering teacher keeps me busy enough! One of my latest projects is making infill planes at school, here's a pic of Jim with the first prototype. Jim is a talented young man, and really got stuck in to making this plane, I just sketched some dimensions on a scrap of paper and he just got on and made a lovely little plane! I'll put together a set of drawings soon, so that I can get a whole class making this plane as part of their NVQ Engineering course.
One of my students - Dion Phillips - was also awarded a runner up prize in British Woodworking Magazines School Block Plane Challenge.
