Kerfing plane done and in action

I was able to finish up my kerfing plane and actually resaw a board.  After kerfing the board, I resawed the board with my panel saw .. which convinced my that I needed to build my frame saw.  My plan is to build Shannon’s frame saw Semester 4 – Roubo Frame Saw.

Here are some of the photos of the plane:

Plane body with one coat of finish
The plane was a bit heavy so I removed bulk from the fence.

Kerfing end grain.
Man! I need bigger teeth!
Resaawn boards.

Just as a reminder, this project is the kerfing plane project from the Unplugged WoodShop.  Saw blade and nuts from Bad Axe Tool Works.

All my posts for this project can be found on the right hand side under the Kerfing Plane Project Page.

Making the Kerfing Plane

I’ve making slow but steady progress on my Kerfing Plane.  This is a project from the Unplugged Workshop book.  I’ve got a nice wide piece of curly cherry to resaw and its too big for my band saw.

Flattening the blank for the plane.
Then I used my favorite saw handle to lay out the handle.
Cuttin’ out the shape.
Cutting the slot for the blade.
Adding a fence ..
and saw blade nuts ..
and finally the adjustment nuts.
