I got a chance to get a little shop time in today and made an improved chisel plane. It is much longer than original and uses a wedge instead of a screw to secure the chisel.
If you’d like to make your own, I plan on posting the dimensions tomorrow. See the video!
Cheers,

I want to thank you for sharing. I am at a frugal point in purchasing tools and cannot aford to buy a quality shoulder plane. I have a bunch of mortise and tennons to do over the next couple of months and wasn’t looking forward to all the hand fitting I was facing without having the proper tools. This chisel plane is a real christmas present. Thanks,
Kimball
Cool! I hope you find it useful. The economy has definitely put a strain on my tool purchasing as well. Thanks for the comment!
Very cool, thanks for publishing this! added to my project list.
It’s great there are woodworkers wlling to share. Thanks for all you do to show othershow rewarding woodworking can be. I’ll be surfing a lot more on your site to see what I might be able to learn or build.
Thanks for your approach to the shoulder plane. I mentioned this article in describing the one I made: http://beigerecords.com/joe/content/workbench-part-4
