    Default Infill plane all tuned up

    Finally finished my little rebate plane and I'm very happy with it. Lapping took longer that I thought it would but it looks great and works well. It is a big improvement on the old one because it is comfortable to hold and use.

    Very very nice plane! My compliments
    The iron seems thicker than commercial ones. How thick is it?
    Bravo!

    Well done Tink. It looks like you have a great little plane there. May you get many years of productive service from it.
    All the best

    Thanks for the comments guys. I ground the blade out of an old 20mm paring chisel when I made the first version of the plane 15 years ago. It is about 5mm thick. I just marked out the side sections with a texta and ground away the waste with an angle grinder. I then straighted the sides withe bench grinder.

    Very nicely done for sure - and for your first plane! Your second and third are going to be something to see.

    Cheers,
