Thanks Tom.

I need to add to those and reorganize a bit

I have been incredibly lucky with CL finds of old planes for little money, and have restored many to working condition... to the level that this year I am going to start making my own.

By the way, did you know that the process of setting up a plane to cut true and properly is called 'fettling'? So, when you hear the phrase 'he is in fine fettle today', you now know from whence the term comes!

Makes more sense than 'tuning'.
