It probably originally had a fence. For re-sawing, you don't actually need a fence, but a sort-of single point fence at the line of the saw teeth. Frankly, you should have just drawn a line on the wood and free-handed it, or, picked up a handsaw.

I agree with all this, but I think your suggested gaps are too wide.

It's an open building, which means your issue isn't weatherproofing the shed, but protecting the ply. You can do whatever you like to protect it, as there is no vapour gradient to deal with, no temperature differential, and no inside or outside.

You're absolutely dead right, and I'm quite happy that we discuss all "matters arising" from these sorts of threads. Don't misunderstand Andy, though, who was just reiterating what I've said about my motivations for working the way I do.

Could you post a photo, Mike? That would help.

It's worth bearing in mind that I don't have a table saw. :)

I've heard of this technique, and wasn't even slightly tempted to try it!

I went back and bought some more more especially for the coving, because I knew if I had a knot or difficult grain I'd have some real issues to deal with. I found a lovely piece.

Steve Maskery has a guide to tuning your bandsaw which should help. And a new blade solves 90% of bandsawing issues. In the meantime, take the fence off and free-hand your cuts. Don't attempt to follow the fence until your set up issues are resolved.

That would be perfect. I know that boat builders had a similar plane, for "backing out" planks where they were laid on curving parts of the framework. I imagine there is a sliding dovetail the length of the plane and soles.

I don't know whether we're edging a bit close to the "no religion" rule here fellas. Best to leave gods out of a thread on plane blades, don't you think?

I reckon a longer wider plane with a handle and maybe a fence would make this job pretty easy. I found myself using my fingers along the edge of the board as a fence (hence the bashed knuckles). More like a jack plane with a curved bottom.

Unfortunately, nice as the content is, they haven't posted anything in over 2 years.

I mitred the little panel trim mouldings and glued them into place: The rest of this post is about something I've not done before. I wanted a cornice for the top of the unit, and not having a spindle moulder my only option (other than phone a friend) was to hand plane the pieces. A friend had...

Amphibious landing craft. What do I win?

Absolutely nothing at all. It's just about their favourite food, and their tongues, throats, stomach, guts, and bowels are much tougher than boot leather.

That's in mid-preparation, still raw.

For those following the ins and outs of the member-formerly-known-as Sebc, his new name, it seems, is silz.

Well, I don't know about that. Here's some bog oak, which has been sanded all over....then half scraped. You can plainly see a brighter shinier finish where the scraper has been(top half of the image):
