My last piece of this Brown Oak - hope I don't muck this up.

 

 

Met quite a few people who dislike A2 steel lately.

Personally I could not believe it the first time I got this Lie Nielson A2 in my 5 1/2.

But everyone has favourites and really who cares? It doesn't matter.

Don't judge a craftsman by his tools, but what he makes.

Mind you in Japan...

 

 

If only I had a thicknesser - next workshop!

 

I love this cheap mini brass Japanese clamps for jobs like this,

 

 

Got a lot of ends to plane square - can you believe I still do it like this?

I must be mad, why I am not using a shooting board is because I don't have one.

I have all the parts and designs to make the ultimate one - just never got round to it...
