Finished project first, right?

I'm not done shaping it yet, but I want to leave it like this for now, use the plane for a while and make adjustments to it over time   

I tried to keep that mouth opening as tight as possible. It's almost comical how often I stopped to check if the blade protruded when I filed the mouth opening. That was the step that required the most patience but I'm happy with the result 

I don't have a ton of build pictures, partially because I don't want to bore you and because I don't want to share all of Scott's steps. Go buy his DVD - it's money well spent

All glued up and wedge in place. And she even takes a shaving

Whoopsies

Rough cut on the bandsaw (once the new blade was installed)

First shaving after I rough cutting to shape

I can live with shavings like this
