I made a smaller wooden hand plane shaped like a sports car last year, and it was pretty cool if I do say so myself. So now I found myself with the desire for a longer, jointer type, hand plane and I couldn't live with myself if I just made a plain jane square block shaped plane. So I decided to make a hand plane by stretching the scale of a 1957 Chevy convertible along its length to make it a suitable for a jointer at 590mm long (~23"). 

Made from Redgum for the body, Tassie Oak for the interior, and Myrtle for the chrome shiny trim like the pin striping and bumper bars. 

It's not perfect, but it's a car made from timber so I prefer it to be imperfect and cartoony rather than a showroom special. Especially since I need to hit it with a hammer to make adjustments to the blade setting.

Let me know what you think. I think it's awesome, if that counts for anything :D
