    Wooden Plane Restoration

    Hi Toby, the dimensions of the body are 8 3/8" x 3" x 1 5/8". I have found some sort of marking on the blade after a gentle scrub with a brass brush, but the marking seems to be mostly corroded away (see pic). Carl, thanks for the tip.

    trimming using templates with router advice please !

    Louise, if you are unable to add a pin to your router table, an alternative method would be to clamp a triangular piece of wood to your table top and use the point of the triangle to guide your workpiece into the cutter. Just as you would with a fulcrum pin.

    June Box Challenge ( Rules and Requirements )

    Japanese Okdeo daiko

    The stand looks great, I love the oriental features you've given it. Is it just for display purposes, or do you beat the drum whilst it's mounted on the stand?
