    Violin Maker's Plane

    That is a beautiful plane. If You ever build another one, it would be really nice to see some pictures of the progress. Speaking of these small planes, I'm just about to order my first one ( for shaping bracings on my guitarbuilds) Any suggestions? Whom makes the better ones?
