I have been looking at some online, but mostly I am going to be using my own guide. Mostly because my plane is to taylor it to fit my hands.

I have decided that I am going to build a plane. I am going to search for the book you recomended locally first. But, in the mean time I have started on making a router plane. I will have some pics soon, hopefully.
