Nice curves....

Blimey, my hands hurt. I've just spent hours taking miniscule shavings off one of the table legs with a plane that looks about as old as I feel! The plane is one of Daren's 'Rounds and Hollows' set that have curved blades, thus enabling you to plane into the curve - but it's really, really narrow and takes ages! Doing both legs took about 3 days in total.



Next up sanding... and sanding.... and sanding.....and................



This is all about getting just the right amount of curve in just the right place. Needless to say, my carpal tunnel is suffering the most after more than a week in this position.
