Keep up the good work Samir - I have exactly the same Stanley planes as in those photos. The Footprint chisels are superb, still made in Sheffield in
the noth of England (just down the road from where Michael Moussa lives at the moment), and unlike a lot of 'modern' chisels, stay sharp for ages.
Best wishes
Leon

Excellent idea for bending wood. I will try it next time. Thank you for showing us as you go along. It is good to know that there are those, like you,
who make the effort to build their own instrument even if they have to improvise in some of the tools.

the candle lit bending pipe is a great little thing.
i bent more ribs last nite to try if it would work well with another wood like maple.
it does work but I needed to put in 6 candles this time to get it really hot.
seems like its not hot enough to scortch the wood but its hot enough boil water instantly off the pipe. I find its a safer way of doing it and on top
of it as a romantic candle lit date between you and the wood your bending.
My parents thought I had become devout in my prayers or something

Nice work Samir!
Looks like the 2nd rib on the treble side in the area right over your bulkhead is moving away from the mould. If that's true, start correcting it now
or it will get out of hand. Keep those ribs tight to your mould.
Keep it up!

thanks Jameel,
I ended up making the rib a bit wide your right.
this is to compensate for making the first rib a bit narrow.
The one thing about the mould is that it isnt touching any of the ribs,
its not high enough. I realized this after putting in the first rib but I thought to myself I would use it rather as a visual guide instead.
I will corect it over the next rib or 2, Or try at least!
its my first bowl and even though I may be confident it doesnt mean I know what I am
doing

Your oud is beginning to take form. Very nice.
I have been planning to start my own for a long time.
If you continue to post pictures I don't think I can hold back.
You will be responsible

Keep plugging away Samir! Do that much 2 more times and you're done!
Here's a little trick that makes bowl cleanup at the end much easier. After you glue on a rib, scrape the previous joint clean--get rid of all the
glue residue--before proceeding to fit the next rib. Otherwise you're going to have a longer scraping session at the end. It's also a mental thing.
Fitting subsequent ribs to a clean bowl makes the job nicer.
