looks the same as the one that just arrived, interestingly the bottom looks far from flat ground too, presuming that’s not actually been a problem for you? @tej It’s been fine for me. I’ve never chec...

Another great video Steve - thanks for taking the time to make & post these installments. Apologies for the delayed response. I've not been working. Just spending a too much time doing "stuff" ....

Do you think I’ve got to many ? No such amount exists ... You have planned wisely to be able to meet future needs.

Now.... what to do with the 150....ish pictures I took along the way. @bpower clearly make them into a video while accompanying on your new creation!!!! Looks fantastic, cracking job 🙂

If you look closely at the pictures on the wall behind me you might recognise the greatest castle in all of England, imho. @steadda Looks like the fantastic Bamburgh Castle to me, love it.

Thanks Boo. If you look closely at the pictures on the wall behind me you might recognise the greatest castle in all of England, imho.

@tej, Ben Crowe has a couple of live Q&As a week (one is live right now), you could ask him what his suggestion is for flattening a block plane on a budget.

When I saw the "extension" piece of the headstock, I thought that'd need some veneering. But, of course, it's Boo. "Paint it Black". @tv101 I think I would have a go at veneering it if it wasn’t bein...

does the piece of metal work better than a blade for scraping the surface after? @tej Yeah, it’s a cabinet scraper. A blade is just like a mini version, an alternative. You can get cabinet scrapers i...

I know you’re going to paint it @boo but I was thinking that the mismatch of the grain on the headstock would seep through... but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? When I saw the "ext...

@boo does the piece of metal work better than a blade for scraping the surface after?

Attachment : image.png That's a sensibly economic use of timber!

@jonhodgson thanks for that, I’ve not settled on a sharpening method as yet, definitely need to sort it out though as all my chisels are a mess too and in need of TLC. Granite is over the top for me r...

@tej there are quite a few plane restoration videos on youtube, basically you want the flattest surface possible and some sandpaper. I think vintagetoolshop probably flatten any planes that need it be...

@rocknroller912 thanks for the link, couldn’t actually find one from on the site though. That said I’ll be looking at a cheap option right now given the expense of guitar build parts and tools so far.

@boo thanks for that, looks the same as the one that just arrived, interestingly the bottom looks far from flat ground too, presuming that’s not actually been a problem for you?

Although, Surfing with the Alien is probably favourite Satch album. @boo a cracking album, a lot of his earlier work I really like. New stuff is nice too but forgettable in comparison. Great to see ...

Been enjoying this today @tej Top song from a marvellous guitarist and musician. I like a lot of Satch’s stuff, this whole album is superb. Although, Surfing with the Alien is probably favourite Satc...

Might be a bit edgy for some ...
