..Kev Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 The latest edition of Wood magazine has a scrub plane that looked like a fun build. I'm between client projects so figured what the heck. I'll admit up front that I have no clue what to expect but, the down side is pretty minimal. Plan calls for a Veritas blade which was only 25 bucks. The upgraded A2 blade was 39 bucks which was where I was leaning until a friend pointed out the LN blade for 35 bucks. So, the LN blade is now on order. Plan called for an all maple body but, I added a little purple heart for fun. Here's the block. Next I needed to take 1/4 inch off of each side and then cut the opening out. Then put the sides back on. Kind of like a band saw box. Here's the first side glued back on And the other side glued on I have a couple other things on my plate tomorrow but, I'll update as the project comes along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I love it ! A scrub plane with a racing stripe ! Hmm.. Now that you mention it, it will look like a VW (convertable) when it's done, maybe I'll have to tag a "53" to the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmaichel Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Cool build Kevin! I have been looking for a small project and the scrub plane seems perfect. I think I will have to go out and see if the issue is still on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will have to go out and see if the issue is still on the shelf. I look forward to seeing it! Sole plate glued on. I'll trim it down when the glue dries and save the off cut for the wedge.

TerryMcK Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Looking good. The racing stripe detail is neat and there was a poll earlier this week about naming projects - this one has got to be Herbie the handplane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sounds like a good build challege for weekend warrior magazine! What do you think James? Yup it would make an ideal build challenge for the mag. I've got the Veritas scrub blade on back order at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaichel Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sounds like a good build challege for weekend warrior magazine! What do you think James? It would be a good challenge for the magazine but I am getting ready to shut Weekend Warrior Woodworking Magazine down. I have been sitting on the second issue for about 4 months now. I only have a couple articles and honestly I just don't have the time or resources to keep it going, especially with a second kid on the way.
