Well the plane is flatter than it was there's still a slight hollow in the very middle but the edges are true now. I took it for a test on the last leg joint. I will have to adjust my technique now the plane is flatter I produced an upward curve at the end of the stroke rather than a downward one little more pressure on the nose is required. The plane produced fine shavings end to end and the surface got flatter rather than curvier after this adjustment. I started on the joint for the top and both edges are coming together nicely a little more fine fitting and we should be ready for a glue up. I am considering more than one dowel in the top just as an extra safety measure if the joint should open at any point in the future, or maybe an extra strut between the legs. I really don't fancy creating bread board ends on this scale they were a pain on the mini bench.
