Kerfing plane from Stanley 45 spare parts

So I had some extra parts from my Stanley 45 hand plane.


I decided to make a Kerfing plane. They are helpful in cutting wood in that you use them first to score a cut line that you then follow with a panel saw.
I made this attachment to hold a piece of 6 tpi bandsaw blade. 


I then assembled it to the extra pieces shown above.
Here's the assembly:





Here it is in use:



Thanks for looking! 
Cheers.

Nice!.  I always wondered why Stanley didn't a have a kerfing plane setup for the 45 or at least the 55.  

--Nathan, TX. Hire the lazy man. He may not do as much work but that's because he will find a better way.

That's a handy tool!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick,
Great way to re-purpose the plane parts, looks like it works well. Can't tell from the photos, can you still insert an iron in it with the new fence? Looks like it wood work, a dual purpose plane.
Thanks Jim! It's very useful. Especially when you handsaw the length of long lumber. 
Oldtool... I don't know. I'll have to check that out. Probably. 
Awesome re-purpose!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Rick

That is a great idea.

Dev...you already made one.  I think the Rolls Royce of kerfing planes.
