May be "square" is not the best term in this case. Where the 65 degree angle meets the top of the block its not the same distance to the front of the block. One side is 1 mm longer.

UPDATE:
I cut the angles from the planes throat. A 65 degree angle and a 45. The blade will rest on the 45 degree angle. The 65 degree angle is 1 mm off from square. I have photos on my Blog here....

WOW! That is one nice lookin' plane.

I had some super warped and twisted 2x4s that were perfect for a compost pile.

A wood plane has been on my list of things I'd like to make for a few years. This challenge will be the push I need to finally make one.

When I was researching how to build my fence it took me a while to figure out how to secure the double gate in the grass.

I did see those in my research. Where I live we pay a recycling fee on new tires so the tire store takes the old tires and sends them to the recycler.

After some research around the internet I decided to try and grow potatoes in a wooden box. I'm hoping it works out. There seems to be mixed results.

I'm amazed at how fast some people can knit. The extend of my knitting can be seen in the video, LOL!

I had to made a dozen sets of knitting needles for my 4H group. You can make these any size you need. Wood needles are great for beginners.

The best I could find was reusable cloth masks that you insert a N95 filter. However the suppliers are in china and it doesn't seen right to buy masks that they need right now.

I'm looking for some reusable woodworking dust masks for my kids (N100 filters). Does anyone have dust masks for your kids that you could point me in the direction to find them?

Thanks

I was tripping over the legs on the rolling cart that came with my table saw so I built my own cart.
