Hi Hand Plane Enthusiasts,

I hope all is well with you and you’re enjoying some shop time. I very recently completed this wall cabinet.  Of course the entire project included using several different planes.  The star of the show however was the Stanley #100 1/2 block plane.  With a sole that is curved side to side (7/8”) and end to end (12”), I was able to rough out the contours on the top and face of the cabinet without too much trouble.  I cleaned them up with various rasps, files and sandpaper.

Many thanks guys.  I appreciate your kind words.  Could not have done it without that little Stanley #100 1/2.
