Recreating a 450-Year-Old Hand Plane

In this video, I make a block plane based on a few 450-year-old planes originally made by Leohnard Danner. The making of this plane required all of my skill and a few I didn't have.

Steel with a floral etching. 4-3/8" long x 1-1/4" wide x 1-1/2" tall (3" with the tote). 7/8" wide blade. It weighs in at 2lbs. Riveted construction. 1084 (Rc62) blade.
