I've been using an old hand planer that I bought from a retiree friend of mine. Her father came over from Germany and was a furniture maker. You can't really see it in the pic, but the planer say's "Made in Germany" on the side. Once I got it sharpened, it does a great job. So, I've been using it to plane the head stock of my instruments. The head stock is usually 4 different pieces glued together, so the hand planer makes everything come together nicely. Sometimes ole school is the best way. Certainly is for "handmade" in my book.
