It doesn't have to be pretty

For this video I made a bullnose smoothing plane as a prototype to test out some different design elements. With this build I focused on the core build rather than the usual refinements and finishing touches. Those details weren’t necessary for the function or design of this particular plane. The bandsaw marks, layout lines, and other evidence of its construction remain.
