Well I have found out the workbench I was given the top is not flat. If you go to my album and look at the pics it is a maple laminated top. If you run your hand over it it feels like the ocean <waves>. The laminate sections were not leveled. How would you flatten this top for workbench use? I have a No. 5 jack plane I could use but honestly I don't have alot of experience with planes. Give me some ideas on how to flatten the top and how flat should it be. Thanks for the help.
