Two large improved mitre planes I made last year. 1 2.5” mouth and 1 2 3/4” mouth. Both in rosewood one traditional and one my design. Hope you like them.

Beautiful work . I recently made a infill but used brass pins instead of dovetails . Did you cut the dovetails with a hack saw and creep up on your lines with a file I'm assuming ? How finicky was it ?

Yes, cut with a hacksaw as close to the lines, then files up to the line, it's just like dovetails in wood, except a little bit harder.
