Block Plane

Block Plane

I feel like taking this plane to bed and sleeping with it under my pillow. I just love it. I've been a fan of our dryland acacias for a long time, and to have such an exquisite tool made from this beautiful timber brings me a great deal of joy. But is that the best part? Nup. Using it is the best part. The HSS blade is nicely weighted and beautifully ground, usable straight outta the box. The tool feels great in my hands and it glides wonderfully over the work. I'll be inventing work for this baby, bank on it :)

Awesome Tool

This block plane is a joy to use. I bit larger than a traditional metal block plane, and i personally struggle to use one handed, but it super awesome as a small smoother which was my intended use for it (with the scraping function for reversing grain). Highly recommend.

Fantastic. It took 3 taps of the blade to have it set up to produce uniform shavings of approx. 0.1 mm thickness. I haven't needed to adjust it yet. This is how all planes should work. It makes planing of timber a hobby.
