I decided to build my own wooden jointing plane since I am still collecting tailed machines to complete my shop. I used some 10/4 walnut for the body and 5/4 birdseye maple for the sole that has been air drying for several years and seems to be pretty stable dimensionally. I didn't really use any one set of plans but just went for an algamation of what I have seen done on various websites. The iron is from a 20$ ebay plane that my cat broke (long story).
The plane is still not finished but I had to give it a spin, managed to get full width and length shavings after a few minutes of tapping. I know it is crude compared to what I have seen here at SMC but it is a major triumph for me.
Thanks for looking and feel free to critique my Frankenstein creation.
