I originally made this as an alternative to spending $100 or more on a Record or Stanley plough plane.
Here are a few pictures of what I did. Basically, you just make the poor man’s rebate plane and then add a groove to create a skate to make it a grooving plane.
In the future, I am probably going to make a simpler version with a fixed width (i.e. 1/4” groove, 1/4” from the edge, 1/4” deep), and will possibly look into finding a dedicated blade. It is probably a good idea to make a ”mirrored” pair so you can cut grooves in either direction.
I think this general style of side escapement plane could be modified to make a shoulder plane or moulding planes. Cutting the side mortise is far simpler than cutting a mortise (and slightly easier than laminating a plane body) so provides an easy way of making and experimenting with making planes.

I’ve done it and would be happy to post pictures if anyone was interested. I would suggest making two mirrored copies so you can cut in either direction.
