Holtey plane making step by step

Just stumbled across this which I found to be a fascinating read.

Although his planes are beautifully made, I'm not actually sure I look them, they are a little bit "bling" for me :grin:

All I need now is the £7000 for that nice jointer ! :shock:

I remember reading his site a while ago and he said that for an extra several hundred pounds you could have the handle made out of the rare rest wood on earth (can't remember what that was though!!)

Hmmmm I might get one, or a new car maybe. No denying they are exquisite to look at and according to David Charlesworth the best money can buy. 'The only plane that is ready to use out of the box'.

I should hope they would be ready to use out of the box at that price! :shock: if money was no object then I wouldn't say no of course :grin::grin::grin:
