  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Low-Angle Jack Plane
    Low-Angle Jack Plane 05P34.01 Patent Pending The Veritas® Low-Angle Jack Plane is an exceptionally versatile plane. Its generous mass, low center of gravity, large side wings and radically set-back mouth make this plane more effective than any of its predecessors for shooting miters, working end grain and initial smoothing. The plane is 15" long, 23/4" wide and weighs in at just under 6 lb. You will appreciate the way this plane, with a toe that is one-third the length of the sole, registers to the workpiece, and the authority it provides when planing. With sides machined square to the sole, a specially shaped lever cap and machined thumb recesses on each side, this plane provides both comfort and excellent control when shooting. A 12° bed angle results in a low cutting angle of 37° (using the supplied 25° blade) and minimizes fi ber tearing in end grain. The 21/4" wide blade is 3/16" (0.187") thick, made of A2 tool steel hardened to Rc60-62. The body is fully stress-relieved, ductile cast iron. It is accurately machined and the sole is ground fl at. It features an adjustable mouth that can be closed to a narrow slit for fi ne shavings with minimum tear-out or opened for heavier cuts. All of this can be done quickly and accurately with the front locking knob and the unique mouth adjustment screw. The large wooden front knob and rear handle provide a comfortable grip. The adjustment mechanism, with its combined feed and lateral adjustment knob, makes blade setting easy and accurate.
