@@SquareTailWood Hello Emily! I work mostly with solid wood...a lot of pine, some Douglas fir and poplar. I also like cherry and want to try Port Orford or Yellow cedar. I like hand tools because they’re quiet and a lot of fun to use. I have been working on learning to use Japanese hand planes and also use Japanese saws. I have a few old Stanley planes but really like the Japanese tools. Keep up the good work, it’s interesting to see you work through things on your videos and I learn a lot by watching!
Thanks for your reply! I’m experimenting with 1/4 plywood because it has light weight and doesn’t need to be planned flat. But I don’t like using hand tools on it. Maybe plywood is designed for machines. I need to practice using hand planes… My reasons for using hand tools are similar to yours. I like Japanese saws. (Haven’t tried western saws though.) They are so easy to use and can give me very good results when I am not in a rush. Really appreciate your reply! Woodworking fellows are the best!
