Center Wheel Plough Plane

[ac445ab]

Hi all,
I would like to share a plane I recently built.
Fascinated by the beauty of these planes and aware of their rarity and cost, I decided to build one myself.
The woods I used are terebinth (enough similar to olive wood, native to the Mediterranean region) and mahogany.
Regards
Giuliano

That is a very beautiful plane - but also slightly "steam punk" at the same time

Looks to be beautifully made, how does it work? Sorry I mean does it work well?

Thank you very much. I wasn’t familiar with the steampunk style. You’re right; it does slightly resemble a steam locomotive.

Thanks,
It does.
You can see it in action in this video at 4:25. Sorry, the audio is in Italian, but English subtitles are available.

Perfick, and I suspect all that lovely brass adds to the weight giving it a better action too.

Yes, it weighs exactly 2 kg, and its weight is helpful.
