Had a good afternoon in the shop.
I am working on the base of a coffee table in BLM; just finished planing the base from rough jointing at the wood supplier.
The plane is a type 11 number 5C that I rehabbed, added a LV A2 blade and chip breaker, set the CB ' oh so close ' to the edge, and it handles the mini knots and grain reversal nicely.
Splashed a little mineral spirits on the material to get a better idea of what things will be like on the finished product.
Rust hunting in the morning was a total waste of time, but spending time in the shop was --- priceless
