Thanks! Actually it's an ECE Emmerich plane that I had got used. It was very beat-up, so I dressed it up by laying thin strips of holm oak into the sides. Similarly, the decorative button is turned from holm oak.

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway

Well, 2 years later -- I've liked that resto-mod, but I got the itch to make a guitar from scratch.

Re: Adding indexer to Shorty for bowl inlay work

That's very nice! I can well imagine the interlocked grain on that bowl is hard to get smooth.
Nice insertion of the 6 "Infinity Stones"! :)

Re: My new bed

Very nice, again! I got that book this year, and I thought your bed was reminiscent of one of his chapters. Great work; let us know how it works out for night-times.

DC3300 taking me back to hundreds of cubic feet per minute

OFF TOPIC, fer sure !!! Sometimes when I run the Shopsmith DC3300, I hear the same "moan" of an old-time V8 engine opening up the carburetor to full capacity. I'm not as old as many here, but a brief trip down memory lane: I found this video. My dad had an *identical* used '71 Chevy van, w...
