Just a little work on the plane today, busy with other things including another phone interview. I drilled series of holes in a 2x4 so I could fit the countersink drill bit into the holes and have room to have it rotate neatly without binding. I used the countersink caged to allow a nice flat hole, but I wasn't totally happy with the countersunk holes, since tey seemed elongaged and not even. I stopped there and went back to internet research of other builder sites.
Notice also that I used clamps to hold the piece to the 2x4. That wasn't very good. More in the next log entry on this.
