A Low Angle and So Much More

Accessories?
For Hand planes?
Who would have thought?

What you see here is the Veritas Low-Angle Block plane-yet so much more. To start off I replaced the standard blade with a heavy-duty 1/8" thick, 50 degree iron. To that I added a secondary bevel bringin this little baby just under 55 degrees! Amazing!
Thats somewhere in the York Pitch Ballpark" (Galoot, Galoot)

"But wait theres more...much more!"

From there I added these incredible after-market style wooden front knob and rear tote. Incredible! These elements combined with its adjustable front mouth and we have ourselves a plane to be reckoned with. It kind of morphed into a quazy-miniature smoothing plane somewhere in the #3 range, if we were talking Bench planes...I use this when all my other planes fail, difficult grain and tear out be damned!

"And thats not all!"

Flip this thing back into the low-angle block and you can remove the front shoe and add a chamfer guide.
"Stop it! Youre killing me!"
Seriously folks, this is one crazy-little doggy of a hand plane, with so many accessories its enough to drive you wild...So you say, how does it perform as the low-angle block plane it was designed as?
I cant say really, I havent put down my low-angle Lie-Nielsen Bronze long enough too find out!
Cheers.
