Thanks Richard and Gary.  I have a few pictures and a video.  I'll try to do a build series with the next one.  Ralph

Thanks Kjelle and Gary.  I am working on a total shop (tool box) collection - one piece at a time.   :dremel:  Ralph

Hi Flyingt.
                  Like your little planes, I have made a number of woodworking planes, all full size. The smallest being a chariot plane thee inches long. I find plane making very rewarding for some reason, may be because quality planes are so nice to use.

                                    Well done, you are building yourself quite a kit.
                                                                                                                     Cheers David

Thanks David H and David.  We do appreciate fine tools - collecting, building and useing them.  I also like miniature things and have combined both passions to form a hobby that is challenging and keeps me occupied. 

And Hi Ron.  I have been developing a work bench and tool rack / box to keep and display my collection.  I'll post a pic soon and will try to develop a video, but these tiny things are very difficult to photograph adequately so that details are visible and more so to record video.   Ralph

Sorry Rob Wilson.  I meant to address the message regarding a tool box of sorts to you.  Of course, others may find it interesting also.  Ralph
