We had a guy named trump. They say t-rump is the best way. Just say rump. And you can remember that because he’s a complete ass.

But, find a good, local hardwood supplier and you’ll be much happier. Measurements for thickness are in fourths… 4/4 =1 inch, 6/4 =1.5 inch

These are probably not the right answers. But the physics teacher in me says to make the wedge angle more acute. Or increase friction with chalk? If the Osage is too slippery.
Beautiful plane!

Yes! And, yeah new tools sure are expensive. You can get a lot of the woodworking tools used. And many of the more specific tools can be made. Although, stewmac is sooo tempting. Just give me one of everything!

This is my first double bass. I’ve made archtop guitars. So, similar. The woods are pretty typical; spruce for the front, Bubinga for the fingerboard rather than ebony, maple for pretty much everything else.

Well, since you asked… almost finished with a double bass neck. Next up is finishing up the top plate and cutting the neck-to-body joint.
I also installed a new ceiling fan. But that doesn’t go in the portfolio. 😉
