Machining Hand Planes/ Drawings Or Any Help?

[Larry Smith]

I would like to make machine/ a hand plane in my shop. Anyone out there that is onto this type of hobby?

Thanks,

All metal body or wood body and metal?
hocktools.com has components and such, as does Lee Valley I believe, and highlandwoodworking.com has some replacement parts.
A google image search returns a plethora of samples to view.
There are so many different styles & types it might be hard to decide.

I'd love to have the time to restore the ones I've been collecting all these years...
(I should send them to UlmaDoc for scrapping )

I'm interested in learning to make and tune a plane. I would lean toward a metal body and parts. I like the idea of dovetailing the base to the sides.

Thanks for sharing. Did you design these? I'm thinking about making a block plane looking for some drawings
