Free Plans: Adjustable Jointer Plane
Added 2021-01-16 13:14:29 +0000 UTCFriends:
I'm sorry! I totally forgot to post these. They've been up on the plan archive along with all the other plans.
On another note, I think these are some of the best plans I ever drew and I'm very curious to see someone else make one of these. I think the project is pretty accessible for someone with a bit of experience, but that's not for me to judge. Someone needs to try it and tell me how it goes.
I've been using this plane for the last week, and it works as well as any other long plane in my shop. You'll be seeing it a lot.
(Thanks to Howard Tuckey for the reminder).

I need a jointer. As soon as I find parts I’m building this. Cool plans thanks

2021-02-18 13:02:42 +0000 UTCI wondered the same thing, it seems like if the sole is a separate piece you'd be able to fit the step on the frog over the body and the sole would meet directly under the frog? I'm fairly new btw, terminology isn't my thing, I hope my comments and questions make sense.

2021-02-18 12:59:44 +0000 UTCDid you lop off the lower section of the frog just to make shaping easier? Or is it necessary for another reason?

2021-01-20 02:23:24 +0000 UTCI love the cleverness you put in to these plans, giving the fast and precise adjustability of a metal body plane with the light and DIY-friendlier wood body!

2021-01-16 16:52:54 +0000 UTCThanks Rex. They really are in-depth and well written/drawn plans. I look forward to making this plane as soon as I can gather the necessary materials, which with a further National lockdown in the UK may be for some time. Best wishes, stay safe and thank you once again.

2021-01-16 14:41:09 +0000 UTCThanks for these plans, I can see the effort that you put into them. I would love to make one but unfortunately time (and the state of my workshop!) Is against me at the moment. As soon as possible I will be giving it a go...
