Shaping braces on piccolo top

My very best kept secret has to be the fact that I like planes. I like all sorts of planes, but small planes are even more special. Here you can see my smallest Ibex plane on the left, with a curved sole. In the middle is a plane from Veritas, also curved in both directions and with an adjustable handle. And to the right is the miniature shoulder plane, also from Veritas. 

The piccolo is destined for Australia and my mate Chris. It feels like a relief to make one of these after the uneducated guesswork that surrounded the guitar-thing.

Chris will give it a good home. He's a good egg.

What the hell are you on about? Oh yes, the ukulele. But this post is about planes you bastard.
