As promised, here is a pictorial for a Krenov Smoother. These pics were taken while I was building a bunch of planes for a forthcoming LN Tool Event. In all, I built 5 in a weekend, 2 smoothers and 3 block planes. That is the beauty of Krenov-style planes - they are quick. Notwithstanding this, they can offer world class performance.
