    Well, I have managed to spend the better part of 3 months with only getting the sole on my plane flat and the blade sharp. I did find a local source for the cane and setting up my rough plane form. Guess I have accomplished more that I thought. Next up is finishing the filing guide, filing the v's in the rough form and getting the final form ready for veeing. Also have to build a binder.

    It's a start.

    Good solid start! Great to see you follow through on the challenge and thank you for keeping us informed. There will be good days and bad days ahead, but it only makes it sweeter when you stand there in the water waving the stick that came from your own two hands.

    A little bit at a time and I'll get there.
