I remember noticing that clever little home-made chisel plane, but failed to notice the source of the casting on top. Hmmm. Looks like it might be a frog from a transitional plane. And I happen to have one. This might get added to the round tuit list.
Doggone it. The list's long enough already.

>Someone posted about this little critter. It is made out of a modified frog. The blade adjuster still does the adjusting, but like a plow planes mechanism. the frog mounting holes are used to hold a plate with a thumb screw to secure the blade. I have a large pic of it somewhere; I'll try to dig it up so everyone can get a better look at it. Not a chisel plane so to speak, but a groving plane.
Groving plane?

>Is this for making grovers?
Wouldn't that be a PLOW plane?

This was the grover I was thinking of
