Woodworking: Intro Five Top Plane Types. How To Select & Use

http://www.woodtreks.com - Learn about the most common, and popular, hand planes used by crafts people today. At first glance, the whole subject looks complicated, because there are dozens of major plane types and many different variations within each of those categories. But most accomplished woodworkers agree that there is a core list of planes that any woodworker should consider for their toolbox.

In this segment, I introduce and demonstrate how to choose/select, and use five of the more useful handplanes used by contemporary artisans who work with wood. You’ll learn the characteristics and uses of the jack, smooth, rabbit, block, and jointer (try) planes. And you’ll see them put through their paces. Then you decide which planes you should buy or own. (7 Minute Video)

WOODWORKING - Cutting Thin Strips on the Table Saw

Woodworking is my passion. Having taught many woodworking classes, I found that my woodworking students were terrified of using the standard aluminum taper jig so many years ago I began using a less refined version of this jig in my woodworking shop and when teaching woodworking classes. Woodworking does not need to be rocket science so as wind down crafting fine furniture I am refining and manufacturing my woodworking jigs so that others do not have to re-invent the wheel. Woodworking should be fun yet challenging, I hope I can help you become successful in your woodworking projects.

Happy Woodworking
