  • Hand Planes Are for Fine Woodworking
    GarrettWade White Paper Steel and Wooden Planes In this age of power-driven tools, it’s easy to forget how important hand planes are for fine woodworking. Not only can you usually do better and more careful work with a hand plane, but you can often work much more quickly, because of power tool set-up time. Skill at hand planing is one of the most important abilities of any woodworking craftsman. Experience with hand planes will help you understand exactly what a power tool is doing when you use it for a particular job; an important and subtle appreciation, if one is to achieve consistently good results with power tools. A hand plane is also a far more forgiving tool; experienced woodworkers know that care sacrificed for speed ruins more otherwise good work than anything else. General Tips Here are a few hints about using any plane. First, keep the blade as sharp as possible. Bench stones and honing guides are excellent for this purpose. Secondly, with rare exception, plane with the grain. Look at the side of the stock to see at a glance which way the grain runs. If you don’t work with the grain, you run the danger of catching the grain, lifting chips of wood, and producing a rough surface. Exceptions to this rule are discussed with the applicable plane. When planing end grain, push the plane in one direction to the middle of the board only, then repeat this process going in the other direction. This prevents splitting the board at the edge.

  • Perfectly Flat Soles
    Perfectly Flat Planes est. 1978 I'm looking at the Record jointer plane in your Q catalog and my question is, how can I be sure I get a plane with a perfectly flat sole? I don't know Tools for Woodworking any local machine shops where I could have the sole machined correctly. Are Record's planes flat enough for me to use, or can you have one machined for me? This might sound sacrilegious, but here we go: plane soles don't have to be flat. They just A have to work. Planes are named for what they're supposed to do, not for what they're supposed to be. As they arrive from the factory, most planes are quite capable of cutting flat planes on a piece of wood (after sharpening, of course), even though a careful examination might show the sole isn't perfectly flat. Conversely, it's absolutely easy to produce an out-of-flat piece of wood using a very flat-soled plane. It's the woodworker who makes woodworking happen, after all, and we encourage you to remember that excellent work is far more likely to result from the development and application of judgement, dexterity and care than from having tools milled to inhumanly low tolerances. To be sure, there's nothing wrong with wanting your jointer plane's sole to be flat—as long as you know it isn't necessary for you to make straight, tight, flawless joints. Nor is there anything at all wrong with beautiful, precisely machined tools (as anybody who owns a Lie-Nielsen plane can attest).

  • Setting up Shop
    Setting Up Shop There are some tools and machines that are necessary to complete even the most basic woodworking projects, and lots that are optional and can be added as your skills grow. There are also some issues about setting up shop that concern the physical space, such as workflow, wiring and dust control. Let's begin with some housekeeping habits. It's a really good idea to force yourself to clean up at the end of every woodshop session. Some people just walk away, thinking they will clean up first thing in the morning, but in reality the addiction is too strong: they will walk into the shop and immediately want to build. A clean shop is a safer shop. It's also more efficient, because everything is in its place so you can find it. We are creatures of habit, and we can train ourselves to have either good or bad habits. Many woodworkers keep every little bit of leftover wood, thinking it will come in handy some day. Their widows have a heck of a time getting rid of these hoarded piles of firewood. Long scraps are a lot more useful than short ones. In our shop, if it's shorter than two feet, it is used to make gifts or is delivered to the local campground for kindling. If it's more than two feet long and an inch or more in width, it can be edge-glued to similar boards to make usable wider ones, or glued to contrasting species to make cheeseboards and other holiday gifts such as the magic wine bottle holder shown at left.
