@nsj Yes, it’s oak and mahogany. The oak was a whisky barrel top, horrible to work with, I’ll not be doing again. I think the sunken bridge looks not too bad, what would you suggest to make it look its… Read more»

@nsj Yeah I understand. I managed to get mine for £390 though so I was quite happy. It’s still a lot of money for a sander but not all sanders are made equal. 😆 I used to be a vehicle… Read more»

@nsj I’m liking the look of this build, great shape and having a Floyd in as well tops it. I do have something similar in the planning. You are a great addition to this group and I’ll keep my eye on… Read more»

It’s very effective @nsj – works well 👍 I did some experimenting with the CNC with a similar idea – except I was just cutting the channel in the material and avoiding the step of having to fill in… Read more»

@nsj I actually can sharpen the blades alright, but my planing technique is so bad I can’t make the wood flat… 🤨
Practice makes perfect, I suppose. -

@nsj Yes I know you meant flattening, I just wanted to point out that you can also do the radius with a plane. I never get good results with sanding alone and it takes too much time 🙂

@nsj – I’ve got a couple of 1/4” and my big heavy Bosch Pro 1/2”. But as one of the 1/4”s is ~35 years old, it might be getting to retirement age! At full price, I’d not have bothered,… Read more»

@nsj Just caught up on your latest YouTube film Neil. Another entertaining watch. Hope the back is on the mend. Can I ask if you had to pay for import tax and higher delivery cost from G&W. I haven’t got… Read more»

Maybe sandpaper on a brush handle
Thats exactly how to do it. You just need different diameter brush handles to match the radius of the your many gouges.

ok, ok, I’m going to ask …
Why do you need 38 planes??

@nsj I had 2 planes (No4 and a 9 1/2 type of block plane ) for the last 2 years, now I suddenly have 38 😬 😎

@nsj
Very nice Neil. Did you draw it out by hand. Very neat lines and curves. I’m trying to do some designs but I’m using compasses and french curves. My freehand drawing skills are not the best.
