    How sharp does a plane has to be in order to plane knots ? I use a 1000 grit diamond stone then strop. But whenever I encounter a knot, it doesn’t cut at all

    educational and therapeutic!

    Great Video

    As someone who is becoming more interested in hand tools, this was one of the most informative video’s I’ve watched yet. Thanks!

    Great video. Good narration and great workmanship. Thanks for sharing.

    I have all the power tools in my shop, except for the jointer, but I hate using them. Working with a hand plane is magic. Listening to you plane that stock is magic. I would watch a full, unedited build of ANYTHING. Please do more of this.

    What a fantastic video!

    I was taught to plane diagonally to flatten. Smooth with the grain

    I struggle with keeping my planes set up and sharpened. And so many of edges end up going up or down hill

  12. Random Revelations on November 12, 2023 at 11:47 pm

    Perfect. I have the 735x dewalt, and a dewalt job site saw. No jointer though! I have 7 pieces of 8-10 foot by 7-11” wide by 8/4 thick walnut I have to plane and joint. For this I had to build out a 6 foot out feed table to reduce snipe, and an infeed using rollers. The plan is to use sacrificial pieces before and after each plane to reduce snipe. Then on table saw, yet another out feed table (yet to be built….ugh) to use melamine with factory edge and attach walnut on top to joint one edge, then flip to straight edge to joint other side. $1800 worth of wood and 25 hours of prep just to build a table. I agree on the no dowels or dominos. Way more issues created than solved. Straight stock, bessy pipe clamps and glue with wood bars across to keep it flat. Air dried, kiln dried wood should behave (key word, should) and glue up should work ok.

    LOTS of great suggestions – thank you
