Looks like a diy extractor blower, Marius style

Today I finished this as a birth present for a friends son. Its English cherry and is unfinished other than being sanded to 1200 grit.
I have no gouges to speak of other than a small spoon gouge for the round bits. it was done mostly with a 3 and 6mm chisel

A rushed last minute collaboration with the OH (i did the wood bit), matching earrings and necklace from Lacewood as a birthday present for the mother in law

Flattened and thicknessed some inch-thick oak down to three-quarters of an inch (I'm finally getting to making that side table project that Richard Maguire did some videos on a while back):
But mostly I was playing with the new interloper and making the roughest excuse for a bandsaw box you've ever clapped eyes on.
(who needs all of their fingers really???)
Don't ask what it's good for storing, the answer's "nothing really", I just wanted to cut one of these to get a feel for what they're like; which would be "pineappling terrifying and noisy and holy carp do I still have all of my fingers and how the hell did I manage that?". Not to mention that I forgot the dust extraction for the first few minutes, so I've been sneezing walnut for the last few hours. Yay.
Still though, might try some more of those. Just need to have a think about what to make and to do what. And I want to finish the table first.

I sharpened up a couple of chisels and planes that I'd been putting off doing and boy, when I took a test shaving did it feel glorious.

Replaced the y-lever in my #5½ with an older cast iron one-piece y-lever because the more modern two-piece stamped steel riveted one fitted to my plane had decided to do this:
Then spent a while making Richard Maguire's bridle joint guides and testing them:
They're nice and simple, and only took a bit of fettling before I was getting this off the saw with no tweaking:

Nice job!
Spent some of the morning doing a simple clean up and sharpening my new No 4. It was supposed to be adapted as a scrub plane, but turns out it's in far better shape than my old smoother, so this is now my new smoother!
With many thanks to phil.p for sourcing and sending the plane to me - it's fantastic.

Thanks for the thanks. There wasn't much to clean up, was there? If I didn't have too many planes already I'd have kept it. 
All it really needed was the blade sorting. The rest was a wipedown and oil, bit of fine grit paper on the sole and I removed the varnish and put blo on, looks beautiful. I can see how people get into restoring these things, I guess the trick is not to erase the traces of history. Oh, and it works a treat!
