I've been a bit of a busy boy these last weeks, sadly not on the woodworking side of things:(
But I've still managed to do a little. First, the plane. Finished milling the bed and opened the mouth slightly. A little file work to sort out the curved surfaces and it looks good. Next job is to sweat on a steel sole.
The bathroom re-build is coming along. The walls have been plastered and painted and tiles purchased ready to be fitted. That looks like tomorrows job.......
I've also started making a cabinet for the bathroom. We have bought a "sit-on" handwash basin and the Boss has seen a design she likes in a magazine. Enter Philly, stage left. Maple is the timber of choice (I just happen to have a large pile of it in the 'shop) so last weekend saw the rumble of the thicknesser as I machined the roughsawn baords into something a little flatter. Found some beautiful curly/quilted boards amongst them so have to choose carefully where I use them.
Axminster Tools are holding a tool demo day this weekend but sadly I have been denied access by SWMBO. "Worried I might buy something" was the reason given ;)
Be good

Denied access? Gads, the cruelty...
When I read "sit-on handwash basin" I thought, blimey, he's bought a bidet. But I suppose you mean one of those that sit on top of the work surface, which are all the rage these days.....

As you say, unbelieveable cruelty....;)

Yes, it is the type that sits on the worksurface. We certainly could do with a slightly more "modern" bathroom suite-I'm sure you agree;)

To be honest, Phil, my eyes were spinning around so much having seen all those tools that they weren't really focusing that well when I used the bathroom......
Those 'sit-on' wash basins look very nice. Hope you will post a picture when it's all done.

Heh, the old "Tool-blindness",eh? ;)
Fear not-pictures when it looks respectable.
Best regards
Phil
