Finally done! It took me 3 days on and off, but I managed to build my very first handplane.
I used 90% hand tools, especially for cutting and shaping the wood.
It was my first time using brass though and I never expected to be so hard and strong, so I shaped it with an angle grinder and a bench grinder.
It's a small block plane, made of Wenge and brass. I repurposed an old iron to fit into the frog and coated everything with boiled linseed oil.
Since this little plane came out fat, I called it "Chonky" 🙈
Here I am edge planing some random fir.
