Iron Plane aka Miter Plane
This plane is based on 16th and 17th-century continental European “Iron Planes”, early versions of what became miter (mitre) planes. These tools were valued for precise work on hardwood and tricky grain. With its high cutting angle and fine mouth, this version is great for all manner of smoothing tasks.

This is my second entry for the tool train competition. This small plane is based on the planes made by Leonhard Danner originally built in the 1560s.
I made every piece on this plane.
Riveted construction. The sides are made from 01 tool steel. The inner pieces are made from 4140. The tote and thumb screws are made from 12L14. The pins are 01. The blade is made from 1084 with a rockwell hardenss of 62-64.
The plane is about 4-3/8" long, 1-1/4" wide, 1-1/2" tall (3" with the tote), it weighs 2lbs.
The etching was done with saltwater and a 12v power supply.
I estimate I have about 25-30 hours in the plane. Over all a lot of work, but A LOT of fun!

I'm officially at the "any flat surface" stage of the build. Unfortunately, it's running concurrent to the "I'll deal with the mess later" stage. However, I'm on the downhill slide!
