| Subjects: | Planes (Hand tools), Carpentry tools, Wood, Woodworkers, Construction materials, Sculpture materials |
| Abstract: | This article focuses on various hand tools used to shape wood. The hand plane is the one that has come to symbolize craftsmanship of the highest order. It comes in three sizes, a block plane, smooth plane and jointer plane, all based on the same shape but each with a different-size cutter iron. Users should select stock that allows them to orient the grain vertically in both the plane body and sole to provide better dimensional stability. After cutting all the cheeks, use a sharp plane or jointer to true one side of each inner body blank, then use a band saw to cut the bodies about 1/16 inches. |
