    Would you accept a woodie rabbet plane into this build off? If so, that's what I would build. I need one, and this would be challenging enough for me to begin with.

    Yes yes yes! I have a Hock blade for a Krenov jack, and a Two Cherries one for a rabbet plane. This is the perfect excuse to get the damn things done.

    I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours. Lets see that smoother!
    Life's too short to use old sandpaper.

    Yes of course, anything goes! I setting in my shop trying to get some inspiration right now. I really want a long jointer, or a molding plane, I have enough smoothers but my wood is screaming at me to make a mesquite smoother.

    In case someone else needs some inspiration. A couple of really nice to use planes in the mix, also a couple of transitionsal that I like to use real well. Some mesquite, lignum vitae, bacoti, and some blue gum and java plum from a creeker in Hawaii.

    Joshua, no I didn't make the plough plane. It's an old one I bought from a Creeker.
    Lowell, I think if someone can get a Spruce Goose built in 3 months they should get extra credit!

    You are right a plough plane would take me three months to make! I did buy it so I could figure out how they work and make one someday, I'm a long way from there. But I do have three old irons........

    Had a quick rummage through the parts drawer and came up with a few choices for irons
    • 2" I. Sorby tapered iron with a Robt. Sorby cap iron
    • 2 1/4" Marples tapered double iron
    • 2 1/4" Mathieson crescent moon skewed tapered double iron - unused out of a worm-eaten badger plane
    • 2 1/4" Kongsberg (Norway) tapered double iron
    • 1 3/4" EA. Berg tapered double iron - looks like it was wider to start with

    The wood part of things is not quite so good - the only wood I could scare up that is large enough for a traditional style woodie is some old Australian hardwood bridge beams - not really that excited about using it for plane making. If I can find something a bit more suitable I might be in.
