Thanks Rob
There were clearly a number of better solutions than the one I used to level the lead. I don't actually have a low angle plane, but it is on my to do list. One day.

I cannot tell a lie: The reason for that is not for any high moral attitude but primarily because you have seen pix of my bench, although it has been cleared for a kitchen knife project. Well, actually it is covered with knives .
In fact I had to move both the wheel and the template for the wheel the other day, although not from the bench, and I was thinking that it really needs a vice to live with. Unfortunately first I have to build the bench (split top roubo), but before that I have to build the shed for it to live in so realistically it is in the realms of the multitude.
I have the timber for the bench (Spotted Gum). It is the same old timber I set out to dry in 2013, but the pic is new

and a slab for the leg vice.

I have the screw thread and some rod with linear bearings for the two guides

I have the HNT Gordon Tail vice. I had to search for that as I wasn't sure where I had hid it. Fortunately being aluminium it has not rusted.

and of course the subject of the thread and a plan in my head as to how it will develop.

Alas no shed to put it all in.
For the moment it is as likely to get off the ground as the Spruce Goose, but thank you for asking.

I’m sort of sorry for asking, but hopefully the planets align and your shed takes shape and gets filled. I’m in the same boat kind of with an enormous hole excavated under my house waiting for a barge load of concrete to come to pour the slab and lay blockwork walls around it. Meanwhile, my lathe and mill and other machines are under the deck outside covered up in plastic. No knife projects on the go yhough, so you’re ahead there.

Is that for a basement room/rooms or is the building high enough to support a storey below the house? Sounds interesting.
Don't worry about asking. SWMBO has been on my back for so long now to "just do it" that I am immune to the stupidity of my situation.

This is a cluttered bench with just a single project on the go: Four sets of kitchen knives and butcher's steels

I should emphasise that I am not usually a knife maker. I am a knife assembler in that the knives are ready made. I just attach the scales, re-handle the commercial steels and make a knife block or four. One set in progress and another three still in their boxes. This type of activity is just one of the many that seems to continually obstruct the construction of a shed.

No, it’s a shed extension for the metalwork machines to come inside out of the cold.
