What’s 20 years in the scheme of things, a mere blink of an eye. :;

Well done on the tablecloth Brad. Thought the little embroidered flowers probably have the edge over Matt's previous efforts.
Oh and the plane is coming along nicely too :p
Cheers MA, my Mum does very nice cross-stitching and embroidery, she has won many competitions with her work.
I will amble back down to the shed again once my caffeine level starts to peak, and do a bit more.
My free days are about to come to an end again, as I have to head off to do less pleasant things, like work and earn money to pay the bills :(
I couldnt help but feel some of the love today Matt. :2tsup:

Despite Ians advice, I still went ahead and drilled the holes in my sides, I might live to regret it, but hopefully I can pull it off.
Those with Eagles eyes will notice I have put the pins on the sides, the tails will be going on the sole. I decided I would go this way after reading a post by David Chee on Instagram saying it was easier to do it this way if you are going with curved sides, seems to make sense to me. Hopefully he is right.
I am ready to put the bends into the side plates now, then I can start on the sole plate.

I agree with Matt. Looks like good progress Brad.
I have a sneaky feeling that Brad is getting out his macro photography gear to get that level of detail and sharpness of the curves:D
Looking good Brad, keep it going
Cheers Bob
That is looking really good. But I have to warn you. Everything you show and I can learn from, can and will be used in my plane build!
Depending on my experiences with my practise scrub plane I am also thinking of rounding / bending the sides of my scraper plane. I feel with 80mm width it'll be too bulky otherwise. So I will be watching with keen eye on your build to see how the rounded sides will come along ;-)
Well my best macro lens also doubles as my best product photography lens Bob :-
Same lens I took these with-
Nikon AF55D f2.8
Pretty sure these would load bigger than this forum likes so I just made them medium size, click on them if you want to see bigger.

I havent had much time to go down to the shed today, but I did get an hour before lunch.
The formers or cauls that I made didnt bend the sides nearly enough, so I had to make another set.
These ones got close, I just had to move the brass forward and backwards and clamp in the vice a few times to get enough bend on them.
Here you can see how much springback is involved, and this is after I put a bit more bend into them.

They fit pretty well over the plan I drew up, so I am happy with how they are.

I saw the eyes and immediately it took me back to the French cartoon series that was aired on the ABC called Minuscule. A series of five or ten minute segments based on insects.
This is a trailer for a film and is in English
Minuscule: Valley of the Lost Ants Official International Trailer #1 (2016) HD - YouTube
Most of the TV versions have no spoken sound. This one revolves around a ladybug, flies and a spider.

Sorry for the digression, but the "ayes have it."
