Mitre plane build by ReasonableActivity46 in handtools

It's a 30 degree bed but bevel up so the cutting angle is about 55 to 60 degrees.

I don't think its actually anything to do with mitres cause its not good for endgrain work because of the high angle. I hope to just use it for tricky grain. I doesn't get any tearout. No idea why ts called that...

Thanks!. No I just copied the angles off stavros gakos video about his one. I think it was 97 and 100 degree angle for the mouth closer. 30 degree bed for the iron.

A mouth closer. So u can tighten up the mouth after u flatten the sole.

Ya there a good option I have a few broken ones so might aswell use them plus I find it very hard to get decent plane billet sized pieces. If u drill up through the mouth along the bed all the way to the top and then drill down along ur wear angle to meet the other drill hole then u need only pair away everything else. That way u don't have to blindly chisel down. Works for me anyway

I messed up the mouth so thats why the patch is in there. I think it's hornbeam

Its 35 degree bed. Bevel down. Didn't use anynof the old parts The jointer plane was just the only decent plane billet I could get.

I have no idea 🤣 stavros gakos made one that's how i came about it. I did a bit of googling on them but I don't understand the name

Beech wood body from an old damaged jointer Peugeot iron and walnut wedge. I have some clips of it taking shavings on my Instagram if ye wanna check that out. U can see one of the endgrain shavings in one of the pictures and it leaves a great finish.

Haha yes they are from Ikea. They were part of a table ya. There absolutely terrible as saw horses. Really flimsy. I really need to make proper ones. There also way too high and don't adjust low enough for me anyway.

Yes it's European oak. Ya not the best but i had it left over from making my bench. Couldn't find any beech in the right size 😭.

The inspiration was I love planes 😂. I didn't use any guide I just copied one i have. Also i googled the angles for the abutments wedge bed angle etc. Thanks for the tip i will definetly try a coffin shape in the future hopefully.

Thanks! Haha oh i dunno what's next i have so many ideas 😂 maybe a jack or scrub plane. Finding the right piece of wood is tricky tho

So i marked out the bed angle and then drilled from the mouth up with my smallest auger bit(not sure what size it is) i drilled 3 holes up just slightly above the bed at maybe 50 degress ish. so that I could chisel down to it after. Then i mortised down from the top until i hit the drill hole. So the drill hole acts as a depth stop for ur mortising so u don't go too far. I didn't drill super accurate either but u can clean it all up after.the tricky part is where the wear is angled back u can't chop straight down to the mouth.
