Out of proportion

Small stuff is built with small tools. Check out the miniature block plane I got from my favourite dealer Lee Valley. It's a mini version of their excellent block planes, and it's possible to give away as a funny but wee conversation piece.

But let me tell you, it works perfectly. This morning I used it to shave the tops of the back braces of this piccolo.

Building ukes has been more or less on hold for two weeks. We've been busy building a storage wall in our bedroom. Maybe that wall will find its way into the background in one of these posts.

And good news, I got a very interesting question from one of my supporters - a custom piccolo. Stay, as they say, tuned.
