I have a very nice Record No 8 (or 08 to be precise) plane for sale. I use this so rarely it's not worth me hanging on to it, £165 plus £10 P&P or collection from West Malling, Kent. Clive

I posted a photo of this in the "post a photo of the last thing you made" thread a couple of days ago, but I thought I'd add some more detail here. This was my first attempt at building an acoustic guitar. This is a steel string guitar based on a Martin 0-28 with a slotted headstock and 12...
