You'll love it. I have the exact same plane make by Steve early this year.
Although it came able to make curlies I could read through, I did spend
an hour or two scary sharpening the iron and learning how to "tweak"
it with a wooded carvers mallet.
a hour or two? I spent 3 minutes (G) another 3 minutes and the blade would be
perfect. you need to come to my shop and I will get you speeded up. lets see 20
irons a week to start with (G)

I took it into my favorite Woodcraft store (Cleveland,Oh area east) for
a show'n'tell. While I was standing with it on the counter in front of me,
another customer on the other side of the U shaped counter spied it. His
eyes lit up and he asked, "Is that a Steve Knight plane?" That started a
nice little conversation and a session in the stores workshop making
curlies out of a piece of scrap maple.

cool Now I feel all warm inside. well it could be it is 87 in here (G)


I ended up making two drill guides, a single hole version as a proof of
concept out of some cherry I had lying around, and then the two hole
version that Steve wanted using purpleheart.
As near as I could tell at the time I shipped them to him, both guides
would center up on any size plane body Steve expected to make and
do it to an accuracy of about .002".
I think we both did well on the transaction but I do hope that Steve
continues to have cash customers. Barter seldom pays the light bill.

it was a really good trade. I use the jigs on almost every plane.
the only change I could see was a deeper body with more relief for shavings.
I used your idea and made a tote drilling jig. I found the jorgenson clamp
kits so I did not have to tear a clamp apart.
