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!!

your a good plane maker rick.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Hey Pottz.... thanks. I try. I'd like to make a couple of snipe bill planes next. Info on details is hard to find. 
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.
Nicely done, they look great.
Thank you kindly MikeB_UK
Nice! Once you have all the ones you need you can start making the ones you might need🙂
Rick, you are a regular tool making machine. Another nice build. 
Thanks Steve,  GeorgeWest, Gary G ! Cheers!!
Nice looking planes.  Why don't you post about how you made them on the wooden plane forum:

Wood planes of all types, we don’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. 
Beautiful planes, and the profiles created are just as beautiful. Great craftsmanship here, 👍👍
Thanks Oldtool! It's alot of fun and joy. And peaceful.
