I do have some interesting pieces of wood that I've been saving for a small project - a pair of mini planes could be the perfect use for one of these.

Made some straight razor scales for a friend, these were the pieces he didn't choose.

If you guys can make a guitar, you can make a mini hand plane. Look how simple the SB plane is.
