Gets my vote. Traditional, yet creative. Workmanship beautiful. Great job.

I understand what he's showing and the two tactile points to stabilize. I wish he showed actually doing it. Also, using a hone stone, I don't understand how to get a flat bevel. Once you use the stone, the stone gets its own rut where the sharpening takes place and then it, in and of itself, is no longer flat and able to give a flat bevel. That is a conundrum and I feel very unconfident using a plane.

Matt's shop is a riot. Only a true lover of woodworking (like me) would understand why anyone would do that. But then I looked at the picture of the boxes! Enviable work! I hope you'll be able to progress onto a bigger bathroon soon!
