I started a mitre plane model using sketchup. I thought I posted a thread on this yesterday, but now I can't find it. I have a basic idea of how I want to build the plane, but there are a few things I'm not sure on.
What I have so far: probably all steel construction, 2" iron, 20 degree bed, simple wedge or screw cap, no adjuster
What I'm not sure of: the length, how heavy I want it to be, which toe design, whether I should rivet or weld, how the bed should be built (considering wood)

There are actually 2 models there, to accommodate my two toe ideas. They will be secured by a screw running from the top and threading into the 3/8" bar stock on the toe. I can't figure out how to get Sketchup to let me cut a slot right now, so it's not in there.
If this link doesn't work, just search for mitre plane, only a few models will come up.
I appreciate comments and suggestions on the plan so far, as I've never owned a mitre plane. I'm hoping to throw together my wood prototype next week, if all goes well.
