Waiting to see if the big box that arrived that I'm not allowed to look in is the planer thicknesser I asked for for my birthday, or the wet grinder. Until then, I started taking down some of the high spots by hand. Quangsheng No. 62 low angle jack massively out performed the Stanley No. 4, probably because I didn't pay any attention to grain direction when gluing up the pieces. Also flattened one side as a reference face with the big Faithful No. 7, which is now performing brilliantly after buying a new iron for it.
I may end up splitting the final board into 4 and making a set of coasters as it really is too small for anything else. But I'm enjoying the process as practice regardless.
