Impressive, want to eventually add an infill to my plane fleet.

That's BRILLIANT !
I am enjoying the small and larger dots from the ends of the pins in the side plates. Adds a lively playful touch.
I was going to say the handle would be too small to grip but now I see it is more of a palm rest and you grip the plane with fingers extended like a regular small block plane . . . or am I wrong there ?
Very creative photo with the plane buried in shavings.
Over all A+

That thing is amazing, I can't fathom building such a nice tool. What's the screw in the blade top for? Did you use a lateral adjuster mechanism of some sort, or just mallet/hammer? Looks like you made some great shavings.

Interesting design.
Looks like it can do the job.

Cool. I really like the non traditional design. I think it shows a persons creativity rather than just a persons craftsmanship. Looks like you captured both creativity and craftsmanship in this plane. Great work.

Hi Allen. I am pretty sure the screw head near the top prevents the blade from sliding all the way through the mouth of the plane. Ideal safety feature.Originally Posted by Allen Jordan

That is one modern design infill plane I really like. I've seen some others that have less appeal.

That is a beautiful piece of work! And every time I look at it I keep wanting to pick it up and try it out - maybe its just me, but it just looks like it would feel so good in my hand. I also really like the small size, because that suits the small project I do.
Matteo, Im not in the market for an infill, but I am curious - have you considered selling a few of this design? If so, what would they sell for?
Very well done Sir!

Mateo, I really like your planes. I've been following for a while, and while I didn't like the look at first, it's the kind of thing that grows on you.
anyone interested in buying one just google "Lazarus Plane", prices are quite competitive.

I agree with Leigh. Well done, Mateo! The craftsmanship is excellent, and the design is striking and original. It's great that people who want infills have a choice between traditional and modern designs.

Dang! That's some real eye candy.

Beautifull! I'd be scared of nicking it in use.
