Thanks all for the warm welcome.
To Carson: <chuckle> No, that’s a different Gravedigger. Somehow I don’t think my SportTrak qualifies as a monster truck (unless you drive a MG, that is!).
Actually, Gravedigger has been my callsign since 1976. It stuck, and I just kept it. Actually,
I’ve been called a lot of things in my time (many not so nice!).
I’ll be starting my blog in the next day or two. I’m in the process of setting up my new shop, and am presently making my European-style workbench using mostly box-store grade lumber.
I’m curious to see how this low-cost variant will work out, and I’ll be adding entries & photos as it progresses. Maybe some of you will have some insights on this.

It comes from an old movie called “Cotton Comes to Harlem.” One of the detectives was called Gravedigger. One of my buddies started calling me that and it stuck. <chuckle> Could be worse—we called him “Weasel”.

you asked woodworkerscott about his wooden dummy and how he made it; the youtube above is how I believe he went about making it. Though that you would enjoy it anyway.

Robert,
The plane radius on the bottom of the plane is a 16th of an inch difference from the center of the plane on each side.
When the plane was a block and not shaped at all I put a 16th of an inch mark above the sole of the plane on each side. I then took a batten and battened out a curve so that the ends of my line would fall on the marks while the center of the batten fell on the center of the sole of the plane making a perfect curve, then just lapped the sole until i got the curved bottom I wanted.
