PLANE #2

It’s been a while since I posted a project because I was annoyed with not being able to post more then one picture or edit a post or blog but it seems to be working now .
This is the second hand plane I made and it is getting to be a bit of an addiction as I much enjoy the build .
This one is made from a wood that was given to me by a buddy (Afzelia, Doussie) and some Jatoba for the handles the iron is from Japan .
The biggest challenge making this plane was the rear handle because I could not get the shape right to fit my hand and the solution was making a mock up from putty and then transfer the shape to wood which worked like a charm .
The adjustable mouth is a item that I have not seen on a wooden plane before but it sure works great especially when taking thin shavings other then that it is straight forward with a bras pin for the wedge and a steel strike button to adjust the iron but i am happy with the look, design and feel in my hands .
Oh yes a Canadian penny inlaid to show who made it ,it’s a mark I use on my hand tools that
I make .
