Has anyone attempted to make a plane, not one made out of wood but metal?
Has anyone attempted to make a plane, not one made out of wood but metal?
I came across a website by Peter McBride (link below) as a start toward making a plane. That led me to a book titled Making & Modifying Woodworking Tools by Jim Kingshott. And coincidentally there is company in my general neck of the woods that offers kits to make infill planes. This should be an interesting sideline to woodworking.

Google Jim Yehle.... and Ron Breeze...
If you take a look in the Neanderthal Haven forum, you will find some examples.
In particular, I think there are some threads linked in the Sticky thread "Wisdom and FAQs" https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread....al-wisdom-FAQs
