A couple weeks ago, I made a plane from a Hock kit in a class. There were three of us in the class, and I still had stitches in my finger from the class the week before (oops), so I didn't spend the time sharpening the blade then (I had to keep the stitches dry and clean). I also decided that I rather liked the blocky body the way I made it -- I could always change it later. :)
I still have a few bugs to work out (narrow shavings), but here she is on her test run with some butternut.

It wasn't really that hard, what with most of the hard part done and all, but it was a fun way to spend a Friday night (prepping for glue-up) and Saturday.
The sander in class wasn't terribly optimal, so I'll probably get around to rasping it smoother at some point.
