Bog oak router plane

I made my son in law a christmas present:

I didn't make the brass adjustment wheel. A friend did that for me. The blade was second hand from Ebay. The locking mechanism works a treat, and keeps things rather neater than traditional screw-type arrangements. The pin in the back will be replaced by something smarter, probably in brass, in due course. Sorry there's no WIP, but I'm keeping the mechanism as a secret for now.

Are you keeping the mechanism secret while waiting for the patent to be approved? Can we expect mass production soon. :)

It does look good as well as functional.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

No, nothing like that. Just to keep people guessing. I'll reveal all when I post the WIP of my own, which hopefully will be fairly soon.
