@powerful Nice! Good tip on the router bit! thx that will prevent me from making the same mistake.Looking forward for the next steps!

Do you have any particular brand names or a collection of older ones. @rocknroller912 No big brands, I have 4 chisels from Kreators, a block plane and a #4 plane from HBM, a dutch hardware store. A s...

@koendb You need good quality to start with. It’s impossible to get an edge on soft metal. Do you have any particular brand names or a collection of older ones.

@cheesewhisk That's awesome! The feeling of seeing your hard work pay off must be one of the greatest things and I can't wait to see mine sitting on a stand in all it's glory. Congratulations on (near...

Nice video @wayne_f , I'm not sure that making the neck is the hardest bit, but I do enjoy it though.
