That is a very cute little plane @koendb. Practicing using tools on scrap is a great idea. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

So after all the troubles with the soundboard, I had issues with the back panel as well. While on most part of the panel, I was able to smooth and bring the panel to thickness, a section on one end of...

@koendb My Dremel router base is the same as yours and I got it from a reputable firm, but the circle attachment, which is a rectangular plate, was unavailable so I got one on Amazon which I think is ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I bought the attachment for the Dremel router base but it was so sloppy that I had to make a new brass bush and centre pin on the lathe so that it cuts a true circle. Ah t...

Coming along nicely @koendb. 👍😁 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@koendb nice grain on the back panel. 🙂

So I removed the wedges and clamps and it seems like the glue up succeeded, but there now seems to be a slight curve in the board. Is that a problem? EDIT: Well apparently it did correct itself after...

@koendb. Nice. A side bender is on my short list of the next tool I want to buy. I have my "heat gun in a pipe" and it works but it would be nice to use something that doesn't heat up the belly when i...
