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:

The plane was a bit heavy so I removed bulk from the fence.

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.

Kerfing Plane Images

Note:  If you been directed here from another site looking for plans, I’m sorry.  There are are a lot of individuals out there representing other people’s work as theirs.  I’m not able to prevent this prevent this type of misrepresentation of my work.  Again I’m sorry.  Please don’t encourage by buying something from them.

I’m about to start shaping my Kerfing Plane and wanted some ideas for pleasing shapes.  Most of the photos below are from Tom’s site or the Bad Axe saw site (where I got to blade for my plane),  More photos of my plane as I progress.  But for now, here are some of Tom’s pictures.

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.
