  • 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.

Each of these stones has its own advantages that can help users achieve their sharpening goals. Oil Stones Oil stones are the traditional Western stones that many people grew up using. These stones are made from one of three materials (Novaculite, Aluminum Oxide, or Silicon Carbide) and use oil for swarf (metal filing) removal. The most traditional oil stones are natural stones made from Novaculite. These natural stones are quarried in Arkansas and processed to make what we call Arkansas Stones. These stones are separated into different grades related to the density and the finish a stone produces on a blade.

SIMMONS, logging specialist NORTHEASTERN FOREST EXPERIMENT STATION FOREST SERVICE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE - - - WASHINGTON, D. C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

  • Woodworking Glossary
    Woodworking Glossary Abrasives Any substance such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, garnet, emery, flint or similar materials that is used to abrade or sand wood, steel or other materials. Substances such as India, Arkansas, crystolon, silicon carbide and waterstones used to sharpen steel edged tools are included. Alternating Grain Direction The process of gluing-up or laminating wood for project components with alternating pieces having the grain running perpendicular to one another (as opposed to parallel). Usually, this practice is enlisted to provide superior strength in a project that is expected to be under stress. It is also used occasionally for decorative purposes. Bevel An angular edge on a piece of stock, usually running from the top or face surface to the adjacent edge or the opposing (bottom) surface. In most cases, bevels are formed for joinery, but are also occasionally used for decorative purposes. Chamfer A slight angular edge that is formed on a piece of stock for decorative purposes or to eliminate sharp corners. Chamfers are similar to bevels but are less pronounced and do not go all the way from one surface to another. Compound Cutting The act of cutting out a project or project component (usually with a bandsaw) to create a three-dimensional or “sculpted” shape. This is accomplished by cutting one profile, taping scraps back in place, and rotating the workpiece to cut a second profile, usually 90° to the first. Compound Miter A combination miter and bevel cut. Generally a compound miter is used in building shadow box picture frames and similar projects where angled or “deep set” project sides are desired.

Be careful as you unpack and handle them. Also be aware that although we make every effort to ease all edges, being cast and machined parts you may encounter a sharp egde or burr. If you do, ease it with some fine abrasive paper or a fine file. Some components may have a rust prevent tive oil applied. You may want to remove this oil before installing the vise. Wipe it off with a paper towel. This will leave a light film of oil on the parts that will help prevent rust and keep the parts moving smoothly. ATTENTION! Read and understand these instructions COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY before starting the installation or cutting into your bench. This includes instal- lation of both Crisscross Solo and Retro, and the Troubleshooting sections. We highly recommend that you NOT begin installation without the Crisscross and all vise hardware in your possession.

    handwork The only hand tools I really need FROM MILLING AND LAYOUT TO FITTING JOINTS AND SMOOTHING, THIS TIDY KIT DOES IT ALL BY GARRETT HACK am fortunate to teach woodworking classes around the United States, in Canada, and in faraway places such as Japan and Germany. I learned early on that I need my own tools with me when I teach, ones that I know well and that are dependable, perfectly tuned, and sharp. Through the years, I’ve worked to minimize Ithe number of tools in my kit. It has to be complete enough to build a whole project, yet light enough to carry through airports and on buses and trains. Although I am still fine-tuning my kit—replacing a tool with a lighter version, for example—it’s proven to be lean and capable of a wide range of work. When it comes to hand tools, this kit contains all I need. Garrett Hack is a contributing editor. COPYRIGHT 2017 by The Taunton Press, Inc.

PLANES AND SCRAPERS CARD SCRAPERS Choosing planes to include in the kit was tough, because they should be few AND BURNISHER in number but able to perform a wide variety of work. A jack plane and two Card scrapers level block planes can handle just about any planing task outside of joinery, and a surfaces and clean shoulder plane gets the job done there.
