I took a class at the local (Kentwood, MI) Woodcraft. We made our own planes from paduak and maple. The blade is a Hock Blade. The instructor was John Gonser. What fun!! I can see a few more in my future.
Am I on that "Slippery Slope"?

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...Holy Cow....what a ride!"

We have the plane iron at 45 degrees and the blade thickness is about 3/16, I think. We did not put a sole on this but we have talked about it on the next one.

The color choice looks a bit like a 50/50 bar! What a unique looking plane. I congratulate you on your work. I hope to try this some day.
Good luck on further planes...
