: My solution to not having a rabbit plane.
: You make your own Chisel Plane out of a block of wood and a chisel.
: I was all set to take a pic of it but the battery is dead. A
: 1/2" chisel and a block that was an inch thick. Cut a slot
: on the 45 deg. and 1/2" thick to hold the chisel with a
: little extra for a weg that holds it all tight. Drill a hole
: from side to side infront of the chisel that connects to the
: slot you cut for a place for the shavings.

This rabbet plane only took a couple of hours to make and works well for shallow cuts at least. It uses a 1/2 inch chisel held by a wooden wedge. using the forward chisel slot converts it into a bull-nose plane. The body is 4 layers of 1/4" Baltic Birch Ply, blade angle is 40 deg., wedge has a 12 degree angle, trimmed to accommodate the taper of the chisel, which is sharpened to 25 degrees. The side cheeks limit cut depth to 1/2" which is all I need, but now I've tried it I realize I could have made the center web deeper.
