The plane is easy to make, easier if you follow along with the dvd. This is a project for all skill levels and can be completed in a weekend. Discover how rewarding it can be to work with a plane that you have created yourself. Compass planes are not readily available in the woodworking tool market place.

The compass plane was a little more difficult than the bench plane, in that curving the sole in two directions took more work. It was still fun to make, and turned out well. The video instruction was very well made, and some of the things you demonstrated will be useful to me in other projects.
