Where to start? Infill plane making.

I'm not a blogger. I don't know how to blog either and I will admit my grammar is not great. For these reasons my blog may seem to some as just plain rambling. For me I would like to use this blog as my way of communicating my random thoughts on my infill plane making and the planes I produce to anyone who cares to be interested. I hope there are a few others out there...

A few months ago I attended a Lie Nielsen show at Century Mill in Toronto. I also saw some infill planes from another maker there too. I have been using hand planes now for about five years but when i picked these infills up they felt very different to the normal stanley type planes I was used to. They felt rock solid in use. No vibration or chatter whatsoever. They were beautiful and i was hooked.
The internet is an amazing place. For the curious like me its a never ending source of knowledge that can consume hours and hours of your life if your not careful. Since that day I picked up that infill plane I will admit have been consumed. I have never been afraid to build anything, and armed with the internet and this lack of fear my planemaking obsession has begun.
Here is some evidence of the damage so far...








I think i may be going a little infill crazy! I am even starting to blog about them...
