    Band saw tires

    Unless you have a chunk missing or your tires are really dried out you shouldn't have a problem. Urethane is the way to go when you replace the tire. And if you do have to replace you will need a second person to help and even then your gonna look like a scene from the Three Stooges.

    Hand Planes

    I'm going to take a stab st this. I think taking a sharpening class or video will show you how a plane works. Once you know that, you can apply that basic knowledge to figuring out what and how to use the plane.
