    Clamping techniques for hand planing?

    I am starting to learn how to use my rabbet plane (a copy of the Record 778) and I am having trouble figuring out how to clamp my wood down so that I can use it. My workbench is from Harbor Freight with a single tail vise. http://www.harborfreight.com/60-inch-solid-oak-workbench-93454.html...

    Planing question

    So I picked up some cypress wood at The Woodworking Source yesterday, and it pretty darn flat. My question is, do I HAVE to joint one side before i send it through the planer or can i just plane both sides? I know its better to have a "for certain" dead flat surface for the planer, but this...

    planing bench

    I am trying to come up with a saw horse, of sorts, for use with a Japanese inspired planing bench, which is in reality a 10 x 10. I have tried several different saw horses and every time the pressure used in planing causes the saw horses to tumble. I thought about extending the legs more...

    Planing figured woods?? especially Koa wood

    Hi Folks, I'm having tear out issues with the Koa wood I've been working with. I've sharpened blades on the jointer and the planer. I've tried using a 50/50 spray mixture of fabric softener and water on the wood prior to planing. No matter what I've tried I still get tear out on this highly...

    planing a wide board?

    Anyone know of a shop where I might get a large slab of pecan planed? It's 21 1/4" wide x 2 3/4" thick x 77" long. It also needs to be cut to length. My planer is only 15" and my saws won't handle the thickness. Looking for a shop in the Wake, Franklin, Nash, Wilson Co. area.

    Planing Colorful Cutting Boards

    I used the hand plane some panels I made to make some "patchwork quilt" cutting boards out of. I really enjoy making long thin curls come off of the plane. The walnut is my favorite but these panels had seven other species of wood in them. One piece of hard maple was really a pain because of...

    planing first side

    I have watched the process of flattening and squaring rough lumber using a jointer by first flattening one side, then jointing one side. Moving to the planer, second side flat and parallel. Moving to the table saw second edge straight and parallel. Great, but I don't have a jointer for the...

    Planing old PT boards?

    I guess this is sort of woodworking. Would there be any problem in removing the pressure treated decking boards that make up my front steps and run them through my planer (Dewalt 733) ? There about 5 years old and have been pressure washed every year and re-sealed with Cabots, but they're...

    Planing painted lumber

    I have a pine shelf that I pull out of our laundry room when we installed some cabinets for more organized storage. This is your standard pine shelving board painted (or more accurately primed) white. It is currentyly just standing in my wood-caddy. Since it is about 12"x1"x8', I wouldn't mind...

    Planing rough sawn pine

    I'm in Raleigh and have a stack of 5/4 rough sawn pine 10'-12', varying widths (6"-13") I need to have planed to 4/4. Total of 66 boards. It is too much for my bench top planers (Ryobi and Dwalt) to deal with. Anyone in the area that knows of someone that would help with this? I can rip and...
