The Woodshop Shed

Router Plane and Fence

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


So a couple of upcoming projects require a couple of planes I don't currently own – rabbet, plough, and a router plane. What a great opportunity to try my hand at building a few shop made tools!This goal of building projects requires a bit of a set order of operations, first of which is a router plane. So here is my first attempt at ever making a tool, using only hand tools. Nothing overly complicated was done, I like to take a pragmatic approach to most things in life so it makes sense to do so when designing tools. I would like to add a depth stop to the blade itself but I'm having an issue finding an appropriately sized collar that secures.The body is made using cherry for the top, maple for the base, and walnut for the fence. A Veritas 1/4 router plane was used, and the basic eye bolt and knurled nut keep it all secured.
