John,

Hock makes the iron and Lee Valley has a little $6 book that will tell you
everything you need for making a wedge. You can make a plane from the info
there, but it would be a stretch to say it tells you *everything* you need for
that.

Here is the website for Lee Valley:

I don't have my catalog handy, but I expect you can get the Hock iron from
them as well.

And yes, you're crazy, but in the best way.
