I know buying from LV is "quite the thing" these days, but I got a scrub plane a different way...

Well done BB! Finally, after all these years of conception and promise, it has come to pass... and a great job you have done as well.

Can we have a pic of the final stage?

Oh deary me, where can I hide my face? I never replied to your email, BB. #-o I was going to come back to it and didn't. Sorry. So how's she work? Are you doomed to never make your own now? :wink: :lol:

Cheers, Alf

P.S. #7418 I believe

I took a photo, but didn't bother adding it to the website, since it's almost the same as the first one.

Here ya' go.

Okay, so how long did you take over that one...? :wink: :lol: Like it though. =D>

About 3 weeks, but that included acquiring equipment, raw materials, and setting it up.

P.S. If you take the image, and alter the brightness curve, so that the bottom 15% of dark shades become the full tonal range, you'll see part of the secret

Tragically, I've just done that. Or something close. The magic is spoilt. The strings on the Thunderbirds are visible. My day is ruined.

That'll teach me. :lol:
