Thanks gentlemen.  I appreciate and am motivated by your encouraging thoughts.  It is I who am fortunate to have found this forum where we of like minds and intests can relate and share.  A little more progress.  Preparing the plane body to receive the blade (used a miniature saw from the tool collection to do the job).   Ralph

Here's a bunch of parts that I ditn't - couldn't use, not to mention those that found their proper place in the trash can.  Isn't it something how, even with a small project, one can end up with a bench top full of tools and pieces / parts all over.  On the plow plane I've had to build just about every part at least twice.  It is progressing but slow.   Ralph

Lever cap, knurled bolt (1-72) and blade . . . seems like such insignificant small parts.  Well small they are - have to be, and that makes it such a big accomplishment toward the whole project.   Ralph

Have a good start on a new project.  Several are unfinished, but when I run into a wall, a change of concentration sometimes helps.   Ralph

Thanks Gents.  I appreciate your thoughts.

Yup, I can make a spade and a pick or two.





And have a good collection of saws.





See them in action on YouTube.  Ralph

Thanks, Gents.

Some progress on the Plow Plane.  The fence turned out to be another complicated part of this project.   Ralph

Coming along nicely, I'm glade I poked you about a plow plane. Can't wait to see the completed plane.
