    most of my tools are diy lol. ok apart from the leveling radius beam as i got my friend who is a cnc machinist to make me one and bore the insides out. i tend to get by with very few tools realy. i have a home made notched straight edge made with a dremmel and a nice steel rule and i crown and end dress with needle files mostly now. although saying that the beam is only a time saver as i still preffer the no5 jack plane i used to use as it was the way i learned and its more ergonomic. im thinking about making a couple of end bevels next 45 deg and 37 deg. spose im an odd ball in the fretting system.

    Another super useful thread, thanks! Not sure I'm ready to do that by myself just yet though... How messy is it and much time does it take? I've got a mess-hating wife and time-intensive job and kids, which might be incompatible
