More than 10 years ago Popular Mechanics published a very informative article on making a small wooden handplane which I’m very fond of.
I haven’t built mine but I keep revisiting this article over and over again: Hand Made Hand Plane.
At just over 6″ long and with a 1 1/2″ iron it can be used as a block plane to trim edges and surface small pieces.
Enjoy!

Luis,
Sweet work. Reminds me of some of the planes in Charles Hayward’s book on making tools.
