I'm stepping up to a full-sized plane for my next effort. This will be modeled closely on an old Spiers infill smoother in my collection. Many hours went into closely measuring the plane and modeling the metal parts in CAD so I could outsource rough cutting of the metal to a laser to jump start my process. This will be all steel. Mild steel for the dovetailed components, stainless for the lever cap and screw. I haven't decided on a stuffing wood yet, but will go shopping once I have a shell made.
