New Update!!!!
So I have not posted on here in a while, been busy busy. I have purchased "new" tools and the like, pictures coming soon. Just to list a few, I have 3 45's now, and I also purchased some hand saws, and some chisels from a swap meet through the MWTCA. I also have a chair makers doweling bit for my brace, so hopefully I will start making some furniture/tables. I scored a sweet set of mortise chisels, and just ordered a burisher and set of lee valley scrapers. Along with this, I purchase a 15inch froe. I am planning to go out this weekend, weather permitting, this is Minnesota, to gather some stock and test out my new froe. I am also looking forward to using my new stanley tongue and groove plane. I believe I will start with a small end table, made from either walnut or cherry. I also purchased a Millers Falls Jack plane, some auger bits, and a stanley plow plane.
That's it for now!!! Just keep expanding my antique tool collection.
Cheers,

More Window Sill Planing
Using the smoothing plane, at a slight skew, look at those curly shavings.

Bay window sill

So today was a good day. I planed down a bay window with all my planes. Used my smoother, jack, shoulder/rabbet, and my block. I will have some video of this soon.
Side note, it has been a few days and there is no rust on any of my planes. Also, the soles of them all are extra smooth. I used to use candle wax/bees wax. Johnson's paste wax is what I will be using from now on.
Cheers
