    A (real) wooden #4

    Neat item I found on the Journeyman's Journal page. He has a build thread here. Page down a bit to find the article.)

    I think I'll make myself one, just for display.

    That's pretty cool. It would look better in walnut.

    Hi Stewie. It's just fun to take a diversion sometimes and this one looked like some fun is all.

    I only ever seem to make functional things,my wife says. She seems to be right,though I've made a number of master models of jewelry for her so she can make money from them.

    BUT,If making the wooden plane sharpens your skills,it does leave a benefit.

    Enough about the build, how will you sharpen the iron?

    Thanks George. I was thinking I'd do it mostly with hand tools, so I would get some practice in. Just a silly, whimsical sorta thing!

    To heck with a hand rail, I would want a safety harness to go down that flight.
