The Ironbark Infill Block Plane Kit offers skilled woodworkers the opportunity to build their own premium low-angle infill plane using the same precision-engineered components found in the finished Ironbark Infill Block Plane.

The kit includes all metal components fully machined to their final dimensions and tolerances, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and performance. These parts are intentionally left unfinished on their cosmetic surfaces, allowing the builder to apply their preferred surface treatment—such as brushed, satin, or hand-hammered finishes—resulting in a truly personal tool.

Detailed instructions are included for shaping and fitting the two wooden infill components, allowing you to select your own timber and tailor the look and feel of the plane to your preferences. The completed plane will match the performance, geometry, and cutting capability of the fully finished Ironbark Infill Block Plane.

This kit is ideal for experienced woodworkers and hand-tool enthusiasts who value both craftsmanship and involvement in the creation of their tools.
