I have been fascinated with antique handplanes, and people making modern reproductions of and new takes on them, for years. I have a modest collection of planes, and am taking early steps into making some of my own. Here I collect notes from the bench, document in-progress planes, and publish drawings and measurements of the antique planes in my collection. Current experiments include pinned vs dovetailed soles, various material pairings, and learning the basics of CAD to help me optimize my limited shop time.
