Nice!! I really love it.... what’s up this week everyone is posting amazing stuff..... if I may add my 2 cents, I don't care much for to thumb screw, I feel like it's too bulky and detracts from the elegance of the plane.
I also love that the screw cap is wood, I just made my second one with wood, 8mm thick Ipe, and it works like a charm and super easy to make.

It looks great.

My wondering is about the angle of the handle. I like a little slant on mine. Though comfort for the one using it is what matters.
