You are getting plenty practice at M&Ts then.
I did a bed headboard like that and found the glue up a bit tricky. Must have been down to the last minutes before the glue set up. Lining up all the tenons with the holes was kind of stressful. Got there but a close run thing.

Can't quite make out the whole message but I take it that its wartime made when nickel was in short supply. Got a pic of the plane itself.

Very nice indeed. I really like how that neck blends in.
Been thinking on having a go at a bass for a long time now. Whose hardware and pickup did you use.

The book above is about the best one for a beginner out there. It would be good to search out a woodturning club or even a men's shed to get started so you get an idea of what you need.

It looks like a good practical bench to me and should be fine to work on. I would not worry too much about the small details as after all the process is a learning curve. I am on bench No4 now and still think of things I could have done different. As you make things on the bench you will get to...
I dont like the idea of putting sideways force on the tablesaw blade. Too much depth of cut and or feed rate then big bang and and chunks of wood and metal flying about. The jig itself is not that different from a router lathe which I think would be a better option. A wood lathe would be better...
Yes epoxy would be the glue to use. I made a low angle shooting board plane using PVA and with big humidity changes had to do a repair job on it within 2 years.
Used epoxy on the repair. Been fine after the repair.

I agree the #3 is handy to have as an additional plane but not essential to have. Since I got one I find it does a lot of the things a block plane would be used for but having a handle its more comfortable to use.
