So it is true...it is light out this early in the day
Taking the wife to work in an hour or so, so I'll have the truck to get to the post office.
Hmmm, could it be that I really need a truck to haul my swap item
Naw, just down to one vehicle is all

I'll have to apologize I got home last night about 11 from our PB event and was planning to wrap mine for shipment today, but I felt the last coat of finish was still a little too tacky. I didn't want to have the packaging sticking to it, so should have it packaged tonight and out tomorrow.

BTW, have an article all written up for the build.

Got mine today - a very nice Fibonacci (Golden Section) rule from Tom Niemi.
Thanks, Tom. I didn't have one, and making one was on my "to do" list. Now I don't need to make one!

Great idea, Tom. A Fibonacci gauge is also on my "one of these days" list.
And Jim, you hit that plane out of the park. It's beautiful!

Well I received a package from Ken Cook today with a great mallet and saw handle push stick pics tomorrow as I have to use my work computer to load pics to my iPad. Thanks Ken they are incredible!!! Jim I am glad you like the gauge and the plane you made is absolutely awesome!!! After seeing what there is so far I feel I may have short changed you

I got a package from Brent today!
I opened it to find this.
A nice case with box jointed corners and a sliding top.
Inside I found a very nice Fibonacci rule.
One of these was actually on my list. I had ran across it in a reference book a while back and thought I'd make one sometime.
Thanks Brent!

Great job on the projects guys! Jim that plane is beautiful, good pairing too with the spacers too. I hope you got some build pics of the plane, I'd like to see how it went together. Tom that Fibonacci gauge is a beauty too. Can't wait to see more.
