    Starts looking like a plane now. Fitted the rear infill.

    Started on the front. I didn't have a suitable thick enough board. I had to glue something together. So I thought I will feature it a little. Only brought roughly to size and still need to shape properly.

    I think that will look spectacular.

    The wood is Chinese Elm.

    Still thinking a bit on some details of the final shape. Will see how it develops...

    Yeah, I thought that was a clever idea too and I thought it WAS sassy.

    Me, too, but I didn't want to say so.

    I took some inspiration from the Lazarus Planes for the front bun.



    I will do the same as for the rear handle. I leave it like this for a couple days and just take in my hand a few times and see if I like or still tweak it a little.

    Love the chinese elm bun. Things are coming together nicely. I wonder whether you could use the same piece of timber for a matching handle? More work, I know!

    The handle is also from the same tree, but I did not have a suitable piece with that feature. During drying it had quite some cracks through the dark wood.

    Anyway, I managed to use some scraps to give also a little high light to the lever cap screw.



    I wanted to do more, but I noticed I do not have enough epoxy left to glue the infills in.

    Finally took the plunge and glued the infills in. I had some trouble clamping down the rear infill but a hand screw clamp (courtesy from Ian W) solved the problem ) It's hard to push down on a 45 degree surface...



    I tried to be as clean as possible. My joints looked tight, but some epoxy found its way through. No problem. Will be sanded off ;-)

    Today managed to put some cross rivets in.



    They came nice. Not visible anymore.
    Can you find them? [emoji16]




    Also started flattening. I had to start at 40 grit. I used normal flat bar for the sole. So not precision ground stuff or so. Especially around the mouth I have a low point.



    Maybe I get her finished on the weekend and then show the hole thing.

    You know we will all now expand the pics up and try and find your rivet heads,I couldn’t find them at all,
    So I would say that’s awesome.

    With regards flatting the soul, I fill your pain!!!!


    Cheers Matt.
