I made a plane till for my iron planes., The wooden planes will be stored just above that on a still to make shelf.But as you can see, plenty of room for expansion 😉 😜 😀 ǹ...

I don’t ! I bought a couple of planes, when I got an offer to buy a set of 24 old wooden planes, mainly moulding planes and rabbet planes for cabinet and furniture making .. I just could not resist th...

@dave The thing is, usually, the more expensive neck blanks are the ones that are also easier to work with, because their reference edge is properly set, the surface is flat, so you don't have to worr...

@dave If you just type in 'tonewood' in google, you'll find tons of suppliers. I bought wood via Ebay here and there and I am pretty happy with what I got so far. But I prefer to buy from other place...
