    where in London? is it near any tube estation? and last question? would the allow me to use their installations to build me a guitar? or i have to be part of the school? thanks ← Its in morden, 10 minutes walk from Morden tube station. http://www.merton.ac.uk/content.asp?id=10 I think you would have to be going to the college to use their stuff, just for insurance reasons.Alot of places are like that.

    I seem to be getting good results from holding the blade at about a 20 digree angle, its by no means perfect yet. I'll look into making some sort of devise to hold the blades at the right angle tommorow seen as i have littel else to do. and a word of advice, don't test how sharp you've got the blade by running it across your finger tip, it just gets blood everywhere

    Some of my planes are getting pretty blunt so i got this stone thing for sharpening, but im not really sure what im doing. What angle should the blade be at to get the best result and so on...
