Hey Mike,
Good to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by the thread. I’m glad you like the nightstand. That floating top wasn’t too hard to make. The trick is to hide as much of the supporting framework below it as possible. I tried to make it so the observer would really have to bend over to see what’s going on underneath the top. I included a closeup photo of the supporting framework. :grin:

Lovely tables Jim 👍
I’ve read the whole thread... Some very interesting stuff, as well as all the Plane history I also like the wooden planes you’ve made, very nice. A nice mortíce plane from Bill Houghton & the amazing miniature work of Art Rafael, wow, a shame he doesn’t look in anymore. Anyone else’s work I’ve missed I apologise.
I’m sorting & cleaning my planes after storage hasn’t been too kind, no real harm done just some light rust. I packed them with the intention of unpacking again after a short while so took no precautions other than the little oil or wax they already had on them that wasn’t much, well life decided they would still be stored 18 months later so it’s a good job this thread motivated me. I forgot a couple of little block planes one being a Record 220 that I’ll photograph as it differs from the Stanley in that it appears to have a smaller mouth.
One wooden plane might have some worm damage, it’s something that’s a real killer of wood in this part of the world, especially antiques & requires a little vigilance so they are taking turns having a couple of days in the freezer! Better safe than sorry.
Pictured are two German planes, one old & past it’s best due to a worn out iron & the other a smoother made by Ulmia Ott, this is an old one without a chip breaker, white Beach & Hornbeam I believe. The factory closed down some years ago but is now again producing probably Germany’s finest wooden planes along with E.C.E
Images just to show the right handed horns which were mentioned a few days ago for me, a few years ago for everyone else. 😄
