Block plane sized smoother


Finished up this block plane sized infill today. It is 6" x 1-3/4" with a 1-3/8" wide 3/16" thick blade bedded at 47-1/2 degrees. Infill is east indian rosewood. With this plane you have all the advantages of an infill plane in a plane small enough to use where you would usually use a block plane.  I took a couple of pics next to my Veritas NX-60 to give a comparison of size. Although not a low angle plane it works great on end grain too. This is the first time taking the lever cap to such a high polish. I think I like it!
