On today’s woodworking skill builder I show you how to flatten a board with a hand plane. I also show you how to make VERY cheap and easy winding sticks. Flattening by hand is a right of passage for woodworkers and great exercise hahaha. Whether your lumber is wider than your planer, you have a giant slab, a work bench or you just like to use hand tools, this is a must have ability. Let me know what you’d like to see next. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

@drobinson0601 10 месяцев назад

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives ru-vid.comUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 3 года назад

I did start my flattening "career" with a jack plane. Honestly, it wasn't all that bad, just time consuming. Once I got a bandsaw, I started using my veneer sled to slice off the convex. I cut the concave out of the other side running the newly "flat-enough" side against the bandsaw fence. This saves a TON of time. I still finish the flattening with hand planes.

There’s something special about taking a rough piece of lumber and turning it into a glass smooth piece of furniture or whatever. I love hand planing, the sound, the feel of the blade cutting the wood. It really is relaxing

@Hellcommander245 3 года назад

When flattening longer boards, it's best to check for twist with respect to the middle of the board. Keep one winding stick in the middle and place the other at either end of the board. One corner may be higher than the other.

@timdoyon1964 10 месяцев назад

Great video Jonathan... I have learned so much from you over the years... I even have a couple of your hand planes. I have to admit that I built myself a pair of Paul Seller's winding sticks about a year ago. I knew then that I didn't NEED anything that fancy, but I looked at it as an exercise in precision. The workmanship he put into his set really convinced me to take it up a notch. I still have them, I use them all the time, and they are still dead flat. I made mine out of Mahogony, Ebony and Hard Maple. Every once in a while, I give them a fresh coat of wax and buff them to a nice sheen... just to keep them looking nice.

@mmcollins3 3 года назад

Awesome the winding sticks! When flattening larger boards (the ones that are too big for my jointer and/or when I don't want to mess with a planer sled), most of my passes are traversing cuts. Maybe 90%. I can take a much more aggressive cut with my scrub and jack planes in this direction. Also, I start on the concave side. I've found that while doing traversing passes this keeps the plane from rocking on center and produces much more predictable cuts and results. And if I'm planning to run the board through the thickness planer I finish with just a few longitudinal passed with a #7 or #8 jointer plane just to knock down the high spots. For table tops or large glue-ups I follow the above but work to get a full length cuts with my jointer planes in all directions before finishing with a smoothing plane and scrappers. Once you have a sound strategy in play, flattening large boards and surfaces with hand planes can be extremely satisfying. - Cheers!

I have an okay-ish power planer but no power jointer, so when I want a true face on a board before going into the planer I have to do it all with handplanes, and I agree with you that it is a real workout! I know you probably don't prep like this often, but for anyone who does, I've found that having a lower workbench height, or even a planing support down a little lower than your normal bench height (I think Shannon Rogers of the Renaissance woodworking talks about this option) can make a big difference in how much effort this takes. When I plane up high my arms and shoulders are doing all the work and get tired, a little lower then my legs are doing most of the work. Great video, love your content Mr. Katz-Moses, and I just ordered a dovetail marker and a shop apron from your store, take care of yourself sir!

Great to see you back, Jonathan and I’m looking forward to watching you build that marking gauge 👍 As a side note, I have some Veritas winding sticks, which are great value for money and didn’t break the bank. I’d definitely recommend them to those who don’t have any machines to produce plywood ones on a table saw, like myself. (I shudder at the thought of using my planes on plywood 😁)

@_ClericalError_ 3 года назад

I use my metal-bodies planes on plywood edges without too much difficulty, but it does dull the cutter a lot faster and require more sharpening. Also I usually skew the plane on a plywood edge to try to spread the wear out over a wider area on the blade. It can be a little odd to have razor-sharp edges and a dull center. :) I don't use my wood-bodied planes on plywood edges because of concerns with "hollowing" a strip along the sole of the plane, since plywood is so abrasive.

@jimcamp2423 6 месяцев назад

I used an 18 inch bubble level to check & recheck as material is removed. Took me a while, but I used various grits of sand paper, the boards were closer to square/true than the slab you started with though. I leveled & planed a 3 piece guitar body blank from a couple of 2x6's & a 2x4. I will move on gluing them edge to edge & I got the board to be 90 degrees too. Next time I'm just going to pay the man for a slab that has been planed, glued & squared with a planer. This is a "one of" project. Can't find anyone that wants to square up the lumber. It's Loblolly Pine that was been kiln dried to be at least dimensionally stable. I also have to reverse draft the body shape & trace that out to get close & then shape it smooth for finishing. Then there is the routing. The guitar body is the Valco Airline shape, nobody has a pdf of the body dimensions for a template or blueprint, so I'm getting it online image close for the guitar neck. My first cut at this, I wasted too much time on this already. Figuring it out was more than I bargained for. But now that I'm at a point where I feel comfortable to move to the next phase, I find this video with the right RU-vid search.

I have a bunch of second hand wood and an old bench who's tops are bending and warping so there are 0 flat edges in my workshop right now... add to that, any wood I buy at the store is flat when it's made but by the time I buy it, it's visibly not flat any more. It seems like every tutorial I watch requires an ALREADY squared piece of wood to start and I cant for the life of my find one. What is you recommendation for someone starting with all second hand tools and spaces like this? Should I buy a planer and try to plane the workbench first?

@chrisgriffith1573 3 года назад

I know there are traditionalists that value this type of experience. This is nice to know... However, at my age, paying 500-600 dollars for a great planer setup will extend my life greatly... and considerably cut down the time to when I can use the board. Is it just me, or did you take about a half inch off the top of that board... and you still need to do the other side??! On a planer/shaper, you can make a sled to attach the board to, (using hot glue firmly keeps the board in place) then after two passes, only the distance to the bottom of the troughs is taken off, maybe an eight inch or less in most cases, then just flip the board send it threw one more time and bang! You're level both sides! PS- love your videos, and your info, not a bad one here, and there are several situations this is great to understand and know- so keep going!

All 4 corners were high, like, when I put a straight edge (a brand new 12" steel ruler) I could get a piece of paper under it at the blade slot..! It also had a 4" long by 1.5" low spot just left of centre, behind the blade slot, extending most of the way to the tail end.. Argh!! Kind of explains why previously planed (jointed) boards never lined up exactly right.. Anywho.. how to fix? So I clamped a 2-foot long slab of 1/2" steel plate to my bench, made sure it was flat, and broke out the wet and dry.. Started at 240 grit, figuring "it'll only take a minute to sort this, surely".. Hah! I quickly went down to 180.. then after an hour, down to 120.. an hour after that, now thoroughly aggravated, I gulped, and reached for the brutally efficient 80 grit.. Another hour after that, and the low spot was gone, and I began to work my way back up the grits to 400, then a final clean and a coat of boiled linseed oil.. This all took the better part of 5 and half hours.. something which the maker of this plane should have done in 3 minutes on a mill.. But now I have a - flat - plane.
