New infil plane
Totally inspired by Konrad Sauers K series planes that I played with a couple weeks ago at a show here is a prototype that is almost complete. 6 1/2 inches long smoother with blade bed of 52.5 degrees. Infil is ebony that needs a couple more coats of French polish to complete.

I've been to busy to post for a month or so but I have to take a few seconds to say this it great! Did you turn the cap screw yourself?

Wayne, are you a machinist?
-
Hi Peter, no i am a woodworker with some metalworking knowledge. I plan to do a production run of 5 of these planes. I made all components from scratch except the blade. It was purchased.

Looks like a fun little plane to use.

Beautiful work Wayne. If you have any, please post a video of construction or of the plane in use.

Looks good, Wayne. Nothing is quite as satisfying as using your own tools with good effect.

Very nice work Wayne.
+1 on build pics or some shavings.

That is a heck of a prototype. I can't wait to see the next one. Great job all around

Thanks everyone for the amazing amount of interest in this plane and the complements. I have made a few planes in the past but when I used Konrads planes at a show a little while ago I was totally amazed and it took my interest and appreciation for this type of plane to a new level. I admit I became a little obsessed with making this plane and there were a few nights the shop till 3 am. The lines of Konrads K series planes I feel are the finest I've ever seen and hopefully he does not mind me borrowing some for my planes. I will try to take some higher resolution pics this weekend to show finer details of the plane and if I can get one of my kids to take a video of it in use I will post it. Thanks.

Nice work!
Please post build pics, as I'd like to try one too!
Oh, and Konrad is a very nice guy.
I don't think he'd mind. Rather, I think that he'd be flattered if you showed this to him.
