    I'm in for the planemaking challenge. Watch this space.
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Thanks guys. If you check the sub forum again you'll notice the nonsense has started

    Ok, I have my game plan all worked out.

    I just worked it out that from 7 Sep to 26 March is exatly 200 days. Plenty of time to do what I need to do and do it right.

    I am not going to reveal all of my plans up front. That would spoil the suspense. I will reveal a small amount at a time.

    Step one is under way right now. Doing a big shed (no not THAT Big Shed) reorganisation after the workbench build. Everything in the shed is currently set up to optimise the necessary workflow for the workbench build.

    Building the workbench was not all that I did since occupying this shed two years ago but it was the main focus and the setup of everything reflected that. Now I am reorganizing to create a smoother workflow for smaller projects working on a workbench, as opposed to working on (building) a workbench. There's probably a couple of days work in that and then I can start step 1 of the planemaking challenge.

    Step 1 - Making some planemaking tools.

    I will post some pics when I have done that.

    And are you going to use a table cloth to protect your new bench?

    (Matt will get it if no one else does)

    If I had a work bench like Doug, SWMBO would snaffle it for a dining room table!

    Good to see Doug take up the challenge.

    Yet another reason why a good workbench needs to be heavy.

    And just what is it about that statement that makes you think SWMBO will be deterred by such a trifling matter? Her attitude is "that is why I have a husband," and justifys this statement by saying she is pandering to my vanity.

    It's a no win situation for one of us.

    I was cleaning up the shed today and I found this small piece of timber that might or might not be gidgee.

    Regardless of its dubious origin, it's future is now determined.

    It is now destined to become the head of a plane hammer.

    A little bit of shaping and a handle and ...

    Na that’s plane number 2 out of my stable, but not my competition Plane.
    I put a write up about it when it’s done,
    Sorry for the high jack Doug.

    Cheers Matt.
