: My solution to not having a rabbit plane.

: You make your own Chisel Plane out of a block of wood and a chisel.
: I was all set to take a pic of it but the battery is dead. A
: 1/2" chisel and a block that was an inch thick. Cut a slot
: on the 45 deg. and 1/2" thick to hold the chisel with a
: little extra for a weg that holds it all tight. Drill a hole
: from side to side infront of the chisel that connects to the
: slot you cut for a place for the shavings.

I have some rosewood and ebony that I am going to make some planes with. I bought the below pictured rabbet plane on eBay and I want to make one with the skew in the other direction for planing lapstrakes on either side of the boat and having the ability to plane either direction. I have considered the chisel plane idea as well. It makes simple sense.
