John, 

You get more done with one good arm than most with two.

Great looking chest, old buddy. 

Better not lose that new jig. I'm guessing you'll get a few more requests.

Thanks Gene, I wrote on this one and hung it on the wall. I expect to find the other one this week now that I made a new one. Lol

Maintainence day yesterday.    17 planes were cleaned up, the irons sharpened back to a razor's edge, and a few chipbreakers worked over.   Lever caps were worked on as needed.    Only two planes escaped the work-over, a Stanley #31 and a Dunlap #4. Both had already went through the work out.  

 

 tried a bit of set & sharpening on a big old rip saw, got about a third of the way along the teeth, then I started to see double teeth.   Time to take a break. 

 

Got a line on some more Reclaim wood, just have to carry them home.....three blocks.    Don't trust the parking lot they are in, lots of glass and other stuff laying around.    Will be a walk-about project.    Might just be enough to build a new bench with?
