A little plane (150 mm long, 40 mm wide, 30 mm high).
Body is beech, American Black Walnut and brass. Adjuster mechanism is 303 stainless & brass, lever cap is brass, lever cap nut is 303 stainless.
Intended for use on the shooting board that's built into my travel tool chest & workbench:
Full build WIP is on my website (along with some photos of it taking shavings): https://www.cgtk.co.uk/woodwork/handtools/toolchest_blockplane/blog/page1
For a better sense of scale, here it is alongside the (also home-made) plane it replaces and a commercial (Quangsheng) low-angle block plane:
