Thanks Chief, Im am happy to say that it's quite modest compared to the other builds here.

Excellent job! It may be a somewhat simple concept and design, but I'm sure all would agree that there is still a requirement for skill, patience and precision. You've brought it all to a very pleasing conclusion - well done.

A Bevel Up Shoulder Plane
Well, although I have been finished my plane for some time now, I’ve managed to keep putting this off until now.
My build was near to complete before it became almost compulsory to name the plane and therefore, until now, has had no name. I realise that this will never do and have named my plane “Stormy”.
I present Stormy.

Stormy comes about because:
1. The cast iron that was used was once a stormwater grate.

2. The Bulloak used was a piece that survived a fire storm while everthing around it was reduced to ashes.

3. The atmosphere in my shed when things like this happened.

This was my first plane build, and with the exception of some of the brass parts, I managed to utilise bits and pieces from all corners of the shed. I have often thought about making a plane, mainly for the challenge, and “the challenge” was just the thing to get me going.
The plane performs better than my expectations and I’m very pleased with it.

I learnt many new things during the journey, from different aspects of 3D cadd modeling to riveting brass. I have already made plane No2 and will very likely make another plane in the future.
Thanks to all involved, it was a great experience.

Rough weather aside, you certainly took on this challenge with gusto! Once again, I'm amazed at the results - what you guys can do with wood and metal is, well, amazing! A beautiful tool!

Jools Plane - Simply Elegant !!
Chisel Plane – (This is a clean-up Plane that is not normally designed to make shavings).
My entry is from the Making wood tools by John Wilson – with a couple of modifications – it’s made from quarter sawn French Oak.
the Blade is made from O1 Tool Steel that I cut shaped drilled bevelled and then it went into the Forge to be heat treated which was done by myself.
My blade was then tempered, all forge scale removed, then it was polished and sharpened this was all done by myself. I recycled a handmade brass bolt that was tapped by myself – the bush for the bolt.
The brass bushing that the bolt passes through the plane, to go into the fastener in the body of the plane was also hand turned by myself.
The plane was hand shaped on the grinder, using the skills gained while learning to become a Knife maker, and then finished off by hand with 180 grit sandpaper, the plane was re-assembled after being finished off with Ubeaut Aussie oil.
The Shavings are made by setting the blade of the plane lower than normal, so this can happen.

Well done Jools!
She’s looking elegantly simple, or simply elegant; I can’t quite make up my mind!
Have you thought of a name yet? “Ol’ Oaky”, “Oakey-Doakey” and “Cheeky Chisel” spring to my mind…Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

Jools.
Your showing off with the use of multiple table cloths, it’s distracting from your awesome looking plane.
Well done.

Nice work Jools. Looks like I might be pinching ideas from both members of the family. That oak is lovely.
