I've been working on jointing a walnut table and got some good use out of my 5 1/2 Bailey. Sharpening has always been a weak point in my plane skills, but today everything seemed to be working just right.
After all that planing I got a shot that nicely summarized all that hard work. I had already made a new handle for this plane, but I just added the new "knob" after I got a blister the other day. A bit of a different design, but I'm really liking it so far. The plane's now definitely right handed, but it's a lot more comfortable and it fits my hands a lot better. Taking the time to make things fit is definitely worth it.
And here's the table top ready to be glued up with some biscuit joints.
