Great write up Rick!

Works of art, the maple really has a nice grain and I see you have found a use for the teak.

You are going to need more plane boxes!
I agree with Mr. Splinter, superb writeup. This is not only a great project description, but doubles as a well detailed tutorial.  I especially need the portion on making the iron, I have molding planes missing irons.
Great work on the two sides snipes also, they should serve you well.
👍👍
Great write up! Thanks!

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

Great write up, save for reference.    Thanks for doing the write up and pictures.    Not sure I will ever make a plane but if i.do...😁😁😁

Thanks SplinterGroup!  Another box maybe. Cuz these are little tall to fit in my current ones. Even if I cut the blade down some. 🙂
Thanks Oldtool! Knowing how to make blades sure makes it convenient. Give it a shot! 
Thanks Ryan, Ron, and Steve. Glad you liked the writeup!
What an incredible tutorial!  Great planes.  Thanks for sharing.

Hey Ross.... I'm very happy you like it. And thanks... the planes turned out beautiful for me. More important is they work sooooooo well! 
You're welcome. I was and am still concerned that the length of the article may prevent many from reading about a build that really turned out well for me. 
Cheers!

Great post Rick. Another functional pair of cutting tools, and now using some sexy wood choices. Well done.
