![[Image: IMG-3186.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/x1tTcdvD/IMG-3186.jpg) That literally is my bench shot - as that 8/4 hard maple will be my new bench. After stickering and acclimation to the shop, I will get started on milling up the new bench. I am shooting for a 4" thick bench top with a Lie-Nielsen tail vise, and I'm leaning towards a twin screw face vise but the jury is still out on that one. John

Another vote for a build thread. I need to build a second small bench for the new shop, do I’ve watching.
Peter- nice looking planes. An infill is my dream smoother. Maybe some day. In the process of fine tuning the equipment after the move. Small projects have tight tolerances, so are a good way to check setups. Finished a box project for the wife out of maple and cherry.

Another small project that helped me fine tune the shooting board was a mitered album frame made out of mdf and scrap exotics. The design provides a slot to slide in a different album, while hanging on the wall. My son is into old records and their artwork.
After a few small projects, next is a media console.

Thanks, John I find that more and more I'm growing to dislike bevel up planes because of how sharpening them seems to be harder and more material needs to be removed. Then I thought I could build a plane (infill) for cheaper than I could buy one... I was wrong

Any thoughts anyone? Jim
