    Splitting whoa's

    I have four 6 foot long logs, I almost thought about taking to get it milled but into boards but I think that might be a waste given they are only 6 to 8 inches around. So I may just need to take my chainsaw and cut them up and then have my neighbor who has a small log splitter split them.

    Sanding Trick

    They do make them, however I did not have any and it would have been a real pain to have to keep connecting/disconnecting the sanding blade for all the fret work I had to sand.

My thoughts were to start off with mortise and tenon with a hole drilled through and a dowel for some of the projects I want to build. Part of my goal over the course of the next year is to increase my wood working skills by using...

    Old barn wood

    I found a barn last year on Craigslist for sale it was 200 as long as I took down the barn myself.

    Thickness Planer Questions - slight digs at beginning and end of wood

    I have had a thickness planer for years it is a Delata 12" planer. My problem I have been trying to figure out how to fix is when I put the wood in it cuts down a little more on the entry and exit parts of the wood which causes me to take a cabinet scraper to the wood to smooth that transition...

    Screw into plywood edge

    @Mike thanks for the clarification. I don't use too many hand tools other than the normal screw drivers, hammers, jack planes and smoothing planes.
