Front and back plates

We were giving 2 pieces of wood for our back and we had to plain them up on the plainer getting them to a required thickness and to give a straight edge for them to join up.

When the plaining was done i joined the 2 pieces together and left them in a cramp overnight. I repeated this step for the front plate. When the plate was joined i through the former to get the shape of the plate and cut it out on the ban saw. and did the same for the front plate.
