I want a hand plane. I want to try making one.

The cutting edge would be a cheap, disposable razor. The construction is 4 pieces; the base, front handle (knob) back handle (like a hand saw) and the razor mount. The razor mount is the tricky bit. I need to be able to easily change out the razor and adjust the position.
