Normally a plane handle has to bend forwards so there is a component of force downwards but your handle would tend to lift the plane off the wood.

Here is the angle on a standard handle:
Attachment 481084

Of course you might be doing this as a dastardly plan to encourage others to do the same, while you secretly build a handle the correct way.

Thanks Hiroller
That’s a very good point,
Unfortunately, as much as I would like to think I had come up with a dastardly plan to throw the competition off.
It’s just a crap drawing just a loose sketch,
Funny enough my father in law as a plane in his shed unfortunately he can’t remember we’re it is,
As I had asked him the other day,
So I could copy the tote !!!

Cheers Matt.

I dunno; I feel there's something slightly furtive about using hand power tools to make a hand powered tool. Perhaps you should disguise any future angle grinder evidence with some hastily applied hacksaw marks?

The irony it hurts it hurts.

Cheers Matt.

I'm sure a man of your mettle will be able to steel yourself in preparation for the task.

Spent some more time in the Tablecloth Design studio early this evening.

I think I’m getting close to something I like,this latest one is taking some design clues from Norris planes.
Hopefully the judges will note my head tipping to days of old, yet moving forward with some swoopy lines.

Ps : I hate using crappy pencils.

Cheers Matt.

So this afternoon the design team(Me myself and I)
Progressed from a 2D table cloth design,
To a full 3D MDF Representing in-covering all the artists design requirements, yet still holding on to its MDF heritage.

I may review the centre hump location,that will hold the pin location for the Lever Cap and move that forward approximately 10.33789 mm.

Cheers Matt.

I think you are on a winner there Matt. This is good enough for your final entry, just have to cut a slot to poke the blade through, I am sure it will meet the requirements easily to produce some pine curlies.

Do you reckon I should paint it, or leave it raw and tuff?.

Cheers Matt.

Have you considered a tactile waxoil finish? I believe Doug let slip his secret recipe in the Friday Lunch Prattle

Chief,
That could be a winner,
I wonder what the Fine gentleman we have as judges would think.

Cheers Matt.

Matt

I don't think the "Fine Gentlemen Judges" will give a jurisdictional toss where we heard the secret recipe!
