I got this little plane with the intent to make a dedicated brace shaping plane.

I pretty much eye balled the angle to suit the brace dimensions I use, then I shaped it on the belt sander. After that I ran it across the 15' radius dish. The corners needed some rounding too. The blade's probably not going to set any records but we're just planning a little spanish cedar, not dressing ebony boards. The uneven looking angles are just a camera angle trick. The wood body plane won't mar the inside of the back either.
