Yep you always want to risk knocking it out of alignment over risking touching the blade to wood. For folks that read this and are still worried grab a piece of scrap round about the size of your finger to set the plane on so the blade is up off of the work surface, or my personal favorite, set it on top of a curl or pile of shavings.

I'm not an instructor or a beginner, I guess (I do feel like a beginner at times). Cutting old double iron plane type is attainable for anyone with moderate skills, but it does require a little bit more tooling and careful wood selection. I've posted an extremely long series of it (I don't have ads or my channel or sell anything). A new double iron plane with abutments that's fresh and well fitting can cut chatter free and literally stop you in your tracks before it does anything other than cut a nice smooth shaving. The biggest detriment to cutting a plane with abutments and double iron style is that if they are not made right, they clog, and there is not much documentation on making them right. Thus, I posted it, and it's suitable for people who want to take a step up from laminated planes.

Bravo, keep this type content coming. You read my mind in regards to a simple plane build for beginners. What would be amazing is to actually make the first temporary plane without the need for a plane. I've seen some done with Plywood or pre-dimensioned stock timber. I also believe a beginner could make 3-4 different plane bodies which will all use the same Iron, single or double. Block, Jack, Smoother and Jointer. A Wooden "Keeper" the same dimension of the Iron could be made to hold the wedge in place while the Iron is used in another body. There is even no need for totes or knobs to start to keep it even more simple. Need to try thins myself too. Have plenty of dry timber so why not? Keep the videos coming even what seems like real simple tips and tasks.

"It's just a little jointer plane", as Richards pulls out a monster wooden plane ;-) I look forward this series Richard, and I think I'll try my hand at following along at the bench. Plane making that hasn't been addressed much is the molding planes. Have you made any rounds/hollows? I would be very interested in that type of plane too, as they are pricey to buy new and somewhat hard to find used. P.s. don't forget to discuss your preferred source for blades.

+The English Woodworker I'm planning on making a few planes. My plan on moulding planes is just get whatever moulding I prefer from the box store in pine, fashion a blade in the same profile nothing drastic; it'll only be used once to make a negative that negative will become my sole. Once the sole is done I'll mount and laminate it to the main block may even to French style dovetail houses to put the sides on house some steel into the bed while it's all apart, then also it all together to see how it goes. If it works out OK I'll make some moulding out of some very stable wood and mix some resin and nano fine pumice with Diatomaceous earth coat the first completed one, that becomes my sharpening stone.
