Another update. It's not specifically work done on my guitar, but my jointing plane is coming along nicely. Got some really good work done on it over the last week.

Here is the crosspin.



Next is the wedge.



Next are the pieces laid out.



Last are the pieces dry fitted together.



Need to glue up the body. Cut the mouth out of the sole. Glue the sole. True up the sole and then the sides. Then comes the fun part. Cutting the final profile for the top of the plane. That's where I get to express some artistic license. And last... finishing.

I actually quite enjoy this kind of precision wood working. Much of what I have done in the past tended towards things requiring much less precision. And, I'd never really done much work with hard woods, most of it being with softwoods. Hardwoods rock. They respond to tools and being worked in completely different ways than softwoods do.
