I used a Paul Seller’s work holding method and a Rockler clamp to hold the board while I plowed the groove. I was pretty happy with how well it worked. I clamped the edges of the piece in the clamp and then clamped the clamp in my vise.

Looking good.
Thank you! 🙂
Marilyn,
What do you use to make the signature? Some sort of hammer stamp.
Looking great. I’m jealous of the shop time. I haven’t been in mine for about a month. Sad!

Doh! I hate it when there’s no shop time.
Marilyn, your project looks great! The plowed groove came out perfect, I always get tearout on the sides from letting the plane tip. More practice. The last time I did it I couldn’t get the plane to take a decent cut at all — and I’d just sharpened it. Then I realized I put the blade back in upside down 🙂
Yes, I can relate. So many things to remember. This time I scored the wood, took really light passes & used a different work holding method.
