Looks interesting, although I am still not quite sure what you are trying to do with the cap screw and so on. Are you trying to get away without a cross pin and lever cap or wedge?
Will be watching with interest.

Looking good, but are you aware your pics are all upside down?.
Cheers Matt.

Clarification
Good afternoon Cklett
My plane will not require neither a cross pin or wedge. The cap screw uses an Allan key to tighten the cap screw which goes through the iron and chip breaker. The hose connector come modified nut brings it altogether. I could have chosen to simply use a dome nut but this is a challenge and I sought to go the extra yard in improvising what "bits" I had in my jars of nails, nuts, bolts, washers etc. Like many I like to keep those items as you never know when they will come in handy, such as this challenge.
Regards
Anthony

I'll add my welcome to the many before me. It looks as though you are getting stuck right in and doing an impressive job.
The pic thing is an issue for many. If I take landscape pix they appear on the Forum perfectly. If I take portrait style pix they appear in the wrong orientation: I don't know why this happens, but the fix is simple. I save the pix on my computer and then edit them by rotating them to to the correct orientation. In practice this involves rotating them through 360° and then saving a copy. I use the copy and this appears correctly in the thread. It is a little time consuming and slightly annoying to have to do this, but I don't know any other way. I use a dedicated camera as I don't have a phone.

Photograph issue
Good afternoon Paul
Thank you for your advice which I will try to implement in order to remedy the orientation of my photo's. As you may have ascertained, I"m not very tech minded but I'll give it ago.
Kind regards
Anthony

More progress
In my research prior to starting the challenge, I watched a video where a woodworker (I think the surname is Polish) made inserts across the sole of the plane. I thought this looks good and may serve a purpose of strength. I changed the idea somewhat and made three wedges from the left over iron bark which were then lined with fine/ thin slivers of American white oak. I cut rebates a different angels across the sole -,the philosophy of Wabi Sabizia- the art of imperfection, with the view the wedges may assist in reducing wood movement.
Each wedge was slightly proud of the width of the sole which was later sander flush with the sides of the plane.

Stavros Gakos is doing that a lot. He does great work. I always thought he is using harder wood for wear resistance. I never thought it helps with wood movement. But makes sense as well. In any case it looks great.
I guess in that speed by tomorrow you are alteady taking shavings....
Because of the speed I would name this plane "Lightning" [emoji16]

More progress
After drawing and redrawing numerous designs , I finally settled on a design and subsequently cut the shape and did a rough sand (at this stage). Given that I had some left over red gum, I gave some consideration as to how further add some value adding to my plane. I recall in my initial research that someone added a guide to their plane for jointing purposes. I borrowed this idea and made a guide to add to my plane.
I used the red gum and glued a pice of white oak as a substrate. The oak was deliberately left thicker so that I could sand it down to the size I required- that being the thickness of the guide equating to the width of edge of the plane smooth and outer edge of the plane's side.
Over the white oak I used what aluminium flat bar in my garbage and epoxied that on the white oak. The reason- the metal would not wear with use and would also allows for a smoother flow across any timber.
I measured up where the guide was going to be connected to the main body of the plane and countersunk to holes to accomodate two washers.
Regards
Anthony

The addition of the fence is a great idea. I read somewhere that aluminium tends to leave marks on wood. Hence aluminium planes were not really successful. Let us know what your experience will be.
Love the shape and it is coming along really nice!
