> Now I am trying to figure out how you make noise with a scrub plane.
It seems I had a bad idea when building my temporary workbench.
I used some kind of torsion box build with 2x4. I screwed the 2x4 to
the walls of the garage, that happen to be the house walls too.
My bench stops are all metal btw (ahem, they are screws in fact), and
that doesn't do any good for deadening the sound.
Each scrub plane "stroke" (with a "big" chunk of wood removed) echoes
into the torsion box structure, to the walls of the house.
SWMBO thought I was using a hammer. :-(

Now you know all about me, even my poor workbench construction skills. ;-)

Kind regards,
