Any woodworkers?

Playing with a laser

 

Working on a few items, pizza peel, needs glued up, but my clamps are being used.

Endgrain cutting board, i planed and glued up...then need to cut into slicesand glue up again..

Planed this small end grain board up, and currently waiting for epoxy to dry in hole i filled.

 

That’s stellar work!

 

Only half done...but taking advantage of warm weather. Hopefully rest goes good

 

Nice looking boards. I need to find some shop time and do the same.

 

Couple you guys are hand planer saavy, why are #5 skip jack plane cost so much? Im bidding on one on ebay

 

Precision is expensive. That’s why my shit is never gonna be perfect lol. I’m too cheap for some of those really badass expensive tools

 

You smooth and square the boards with a large fish.

 

Thats what ive heard them called

 

SWWWEEEEEEEEETTTTTT!

I love the pizza peal. Thats sharp.

 

Dont know what a skip plane is.
The 5 1/2 woodriver jack plane is my favorite I own.

 

Some Makasser Ebony veneer panels for box lids.

 

It should just be a jack plane. Does pretty much everything well.

So, you’d use a jack plane to skip plane a board, then have a skipjack tuna sandwich.

I knew skipjack was a fish, but didn’t realize that skip planing was a thing. Now I know…and need a plane.

 

Just getting started here. What's your opinion on a planer vs drum sander? From what I've read the planer is better with raw lumber and the sander is good for finer/glued-up pieces. Can I get away with substituting a sander for the planer with appropriate belts?

 

Not really. I use my planer with almost every project.
A drum sander is a tool that I would use if I could afford it and had room in my shop.
The Dewalt 735x is a great tool.

 

Yes. Especially if you're doing end grain stuff which shouldn't be done in a planer without appropriate precautions. The drum sander can do much larger pieces. Both will require a dust collector of some sort.

 

A properly tuned and used hand plane will eliminate about 90% of your sanding.
