Thank you. Can you give us the approximate size compared to the small plough plane? Again, thanks.

Totally naive question, but...
where does your left hand go when you are using that?

Very nice! I especially like the thumbscrew depth adjuster for the depth stop.
So no locking collets on the rods? I really like the way they work on the plow, so I'm kind of surprised not to see them here.

There seems to be a micro adjuster for the fence. I dont know if there is a historical precedent for this but it looks like a good idea.
Any thoughts about one for the small plow? Ag

I just keep coming back to this thread to look at the pictures! Very excited about the potential for this plane.
