a few years ago WoodWorker Journal ran an article on how to make a Block Plane.
So I made one, it was so much fun I went on to make one for everyone in the club.
Here is the Plan pdf.

In the next months magazine they showed how to make a metal Norris Infill Hand plane. It was more complicated so, made a couple of mock-ups out of wood before I attempted to make the metal one.
They came out satisfactory so I went ahead and made the metal one.
These were fun to make also. Then I looked up some designs on the internet of shop made planes and made a few more.
Here are some more Rabbit planes ,
