Got some new toys
Had some extra cash so got myself some new toys from Lee Valley. I bought a few things but the main things are a precision straight edge (far more accurate then the cheap 24" ruler I've been using), a good square, a Japanese saw rasp for shaping necks and electric bodies, a Veritas mini block plane for shaping braces, and a new Veritas no 6 plane for shooting tops/backs and truing neck blanks. Can't wait to start my next guitar!

Re: Got some new toys
Sounds like you will be enjoying your new toys. I'd like to know how the mini plane works when you have it.

I tried out the no 6 plane on a piece of mahogany. Right out of the box with the factory fresh blade (no honing) I was able to get shavings .004" thick. Can't wait to sit down and hone the blade and get it all tuned up.

I've been using that plane for a couple years now Kevin and I LOVE it!Kevin Sjostrand wrote:Sounds like you will be enjoying your new toys. I'd like to know how the mini plane works when you have it.
