A new block plane is something I need to get as the one I have I don't really like. Saying that when using at work when trying to fit painted wood it's perfect

Block planes are a must have. A decent Jack plane is also very handy in your kit on site It was not well recovered on the FOG. They likened it to, "...when someone asks for a car recommendation, I would suggest a boat or a bus". All I could think of was Venice, the vaparattos. it is totally my delivery as a gentleman earlier suggested it, just my delivery was not appreciated. so I have no one to blame but myself. When I saw that in the video I smiled.

Both sets of aprons have being done and fixed to the legs now. Now I'm onto fitting the bearers which will give the the top all the strength it will ever need.
