"Woodworks" plane

>Did anyone catch the recent "Woodworks" show where a block plane was made out of purpleheart and a Hock iron? Quite a bit of power tool use, but probably the simplest design and build of a wood plane I've seen so far.

>Good show. That was a Krenov style plane. Krenov gives clear instructions on building one in his book, The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking.

>Thank you, I think it really simple also. That was my motivation for making the way I did. I wanted something that was really easy to make without compromiseing the function. Krenov style, yes and no. It is much easier to make than Jim's plane because 1)You don't have to make a shouldered cross pin. 2)you can glue it up and drill for the brass pin later. (you could us a wood pin ) 3)you don't have to aline the two cheeks as you do in a classic Krenov plane. This really simplifies the process. Also I don't use a chip breaker but in the show we used one because it was easier than spending time to dispell the chip breaker myth.

>Google let me down on this one. I found the woodworks site, but it does not mention this episode.
Does anyone have any links on this plane or this show?
