WoW, Chris, those are great.  Good job.  Were they difficult projects?  Where did you get the blades?

Chris--

Those are sweet! I'd also be interested in the "how to" of making a couple of small planes.

Making planes is fun. I made all of the planes I use in my daily work.

Here's one I made when I got into archtops.

There is some good information on making planes in the books by James Krenov. I think it is his second book, "The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking" that goes into detail about it.

Mark, did you cast the body or were able to find someone who could cast it?
Great planes by the way by all.

The body is made from pieces of brass plate silver soldered together.
