    Default I have been seduced

    My present project is a Myrtle dovetailed box, last night it was time to cut the rebates for the bottom of the box. This time I decided to do things a little different, normally I would use my router to cut the rebates this time I decided to use my Rapier No3 plough plane and Stanley No79 to ease the rebates.

    What a sensual experience setting and sharpening the blades and, to have complete control and see the shavings come off the planes it was the next best thing to sex that I have experienced, I guess that the dark side is reaching out to seduce me!

    Have to go I can hear the song of the No45 calling me!

    Ah yes, the zen of wood: difficult to achieve with a screaming banshee. Good isn't it?
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    The rebates might get a bit wobbly; then again, so might some other things
