Weekend project

>Hello All,
I had some spare time this weekend, and I had a choice: finish my bathroom remodel, or make a plane. Not being one to always have my priorities in order, the bathroom remains unfinished.
This is my second attempt after reading Finck's book. Better than the first one, at least. Bed angle is 55. She works ok (curlies hover around .001-.002), but the best part is that it didn't cost me anything but time, as I used maple and mahogany scrap and the iron from my first attempt. The worst part is the mouth is already starting to chip and I'll have to let in a piece of ebony or the like to fix it. Guess that's one of the reasons you don't see many smoothers made from maple...oh well, it was a lot of fun anyway.
