What beautiful planes!

My interest is as a model builder, not an instrument builder. I paid a very handsome price for the last finger plane I bought. No more.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tutorial.

This is brilliant, thank you very much!1
As a keen but not experienced woodworker/hobbiest who has a daughter who is an accomplished violinist I have dreamed about making a violin for many years.
Now I am going to give it a go, and your planes look great and will be a lot cheaper than importing ready made ones, and a lot more satisfying to make myself.
