I'm just finishing up these #4 Hollow & Round matching pair of moulding planes that I made and the cutters too. Just need to give another topcoat on the Round one (upper one).
It's been a joy to make these!! ....AND.... they work sooooooo well!
Check out one of the many cut profiles they can make (see photo). Took only minutes to do!
Lots of fun!!

Hey Pottz.... thanks. I try. I'd like to make a couple of snipe bill planes next. Info on details is hard to find.ย

Now I see why some people have cabinets full of seemingly identical planes. Kinda like router bits, need one for every possibility!
You got that right SlinterGroup! It is sort of additive. I try to stick with what I need. Did I just say that?! Gads!....it is addictive. LOL.

Nice looking planes.ย  Why don't you post about how you made them on the wooden plane forum:

Wood planes of all types, we donโ€™t discriminate!


I am curious about how you cut the wedge slot in the body.
RWE.... I'm relatively new here. Less than a month. Thanks for letting me know about the wooden plane forum. I'm still learning to navigate around in Craftisian.

I think they are Krenov sandwich style construction, so you can just saw the slot.
For a solid piece you would just chisel it out (optionally drilling a pilot hole)
Very good MikeB_UK. That's correct.ย
