Finished hollowing out the front

Today I tried out my new graduation punch. After punching a few holes with the graduation punch I had three kinds of marks on the plate. The larger holes still left from the drilling, the small holes from the graduation punch, and some scribbles from the pencil gauge. Using my favourite fingerplane, I removed material until almost all the marks were gone. The hollowing out is now done for the front. The thickness is still a couple of millimetres more than the final thickness. This will be reduced in the graduation phase.
