Wooden Router Plane Plan

Woodworking Plan: Wooden Router Plane

A router plane is a go-to tool for trimming any small surface that needs to be in the same plane as its surrounding surface, such as making a final adjustment to a dado or rabbet’s depth or trimming a tenon’s cheeks.

Making this plane is a great introduction to tool-making, and it’s really quite simple. As you become more adept with your router plane, you’ll reach for it more and more, in many cases finding it faster than setting up a power tool.

And there really is nothing more satisfying than using a tool that you’ve made yourself.
