But,Klaus,how long will it take for your broken wrist to heal?
Hi George,
2 days ago I got rid of the $%§/& cast! Now I'm hoping that the damn hurt will go away! But as I think that will be soon so it will be possible to me to start with woodworking again in about 2 weeks... hopefully!!!
Cheers
Klaus
I would love in on this. I really want to make a nice, palm sized carving plane, but I don't know where to start. Could someone recommend a decent tutorial?
I'm in Leigh!
Regardless the sawhandles I've to make I'd like to jump in!

If everyone can post their updates (if motivated enough, the build steps) and eventually finished products within this thread I will stick this in the FAQs sticky.
Is there a prize for the first completed plane? Mine isn't quite done yet, but I suspect it will be done within the week. Here are pics of today's progress. Most of the woodworking is done (just need to mold the fence) then I have to do some metal working (cutting and fitting the skate, riveting the arms to the fence, etc.). Then finishing / polishing and it will be a very nice plane to use.

Looks like you are ahead of the pack. You are making you own prize!
In an attempt to force me to complete this project on time I'm kicking it off here.
Though I have a bunch of planemaking projects in progress at the moment there is one in particular I'm interested to make, which is a mahogany iron soled mitre plane. Similar to the plane in the photo's I've attached, which comes from one of the online tool auction sites. I have some really old chunks of mahogany that I've wanted to do something plane related with for a while, any idea how to correctly ID the species? The planes will be designed around a 1" snecked iron. I've got to start on the drawings and get cracking on these, I'd like to make at least three.
