Let's get right into it...you've been waiting all year so hopefully this won't disappoint.  Today we start the Chisel Plane build with Part 1 of a 2 part series.

In part 1 we'll discuss the style of plane we're building and then build the jig that let's us cut it safely.  For a PDF with a picture of the original jig, which you can use to quickly outline the correct angle to make the bed of the chisel plane click here.

Many of you sent me the plans to the FWW article featuring the chisel plane construction in issue #148.  Here's a link to it Wooden Chisel Plane.
