2021 Plane Swap, Jack Plane
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This is my entry for the 2021 Plane Swap. A Jack Plane with the bed set at 43 deg. However it is a few inches longer than the traditional size.I used a solid piece of Piquarana for the body, (2-1/2” square by 18”) then used the drops to form the wedge and tote. The bed and chip well was hogged out using a fostner bit, then using the chisel's to finish it up. The tote was set in a mortis, with a tenon and a 3/8 oak dowel. I tried to make the tote a little larger for the folks which may have larger paws. The front knob, (which looks more like a ball hitch) was turned from Bloodwood, with a round tenon.The blade set is a Hock Set 1-7/8” in the width. With the shipping delays, from other suppliers it did creat a bit of a challenge on my choice of a build.The design came from Traditional Wooden Handplanes, by Scott Wynn. Going into this swap I did not know much about Handplanes, just how to use one. Let alone build one. Thanks to Dave P who gave me a few suggestions about having a few different plans, never made it “B”The bonus item. A small hammer using Mexican Royal Ebony / Katalux and Bloodwood. I used some simple brass plumbing fittings to tie everything together. (Hammer Size, I think) tip to tip is 6” and an 8” handle. Forgot to measure that before shipping. (I need to make another one or two for myself) it has a nice little weight which can be used with chisel's too).All pieces were finished with Watco – Danish Oil, Natural Finish, three coats.The last photo was my proto type which I used as my progress photo. I used oak for that one.This has been an experience, along with being a fun build. And a big thanks goes out to Dave P for his encouraging words and for running the 2021 Plane Swap.

The smoothing plane was made from quartersawn sycamore with hard maple interior. The chisel plane the body is hard maple and the cap is very curly maple. I used recycled block plane blades for both planes. I got got the plans from John Wilson's book on making wooden tools. I bought the book when I took a class from John on making a shoulder plane.
