Sharkstar-
Ha!
Yes I gave it a super quick once over when I fist borrowed it. Probably with my gardening folding sharpener. It was alright but I think I may have misjudged how little time I spent sharpening it and how many times I've used it since then.
Ultimately it was used to take out wood roughly and quickly, so I could finish it off with files and sanding.
Now I have a whetstone I should really give it another going over... you've also made me think it would have been more useful to test the stone on this than a vintage plane blade.
Forgot to grab a pic but I've finished the foot and attached it to the leg. Next up is attaching it which will require a sharp chisels. Unfortunately it will also require emptying the space again, so the project is probably going to have a little hiatus.

Baby steps.
Had a small window so managed to make the most of it and cut the feet for my bench. One down (almost - just needs a bit of finishing). The other two cut and measured.
Thought I'd have a crack at making them a bit more shapely.
Idk if it'll make them less obtrusive, but part of the point about any wood work for me is trying things. Main reasons for feet are actually to give more flexibility for what wood to use for the legs to mitigate any flooding (there's an iffy tap in the space).
Want to get a set of chisels, so I'm not solely reliant on this one from my dad (maybe even grandad?). Also idk how
I've lasted so longwatched so much YouTube without a roofing square. Such a handy thing.
