Why is having a good hand plane important in the shop? It's a versatile tool and can help prepare boards for a project without the need for a jointer.Not that many home woodshops have a jointer larger than 8" wide, and many have no jointer at all. Not to worry - a hand plane can flatten the widest board, and safely plane a part too small to safely mill with power tools. #woodworking

If there ever was a classic wood-to-wood joint, the mortise-and-tenon is it. Typically, its two halves are formed directly from the two members being joined with no separate components involved. These joints create strong, reliable bonds for all manner of wood furniture and cabinet assemblies. #woodworking #woodshop #woodworker #handtools #handplane Arts And Crafts Furniture, Wood Furniture, Cabinet Faces, Wood Joints, Up For The Challenge, Mortising

What is the preferred method for sharpening a mortising chisel?I recently purchased a couple of mortising chisels for those occasions where only a couple of mortises are required. I'm currently flattening the backs of the chisels. Given that mortising chisels are often subjected to a fair amount of abuse, is it advisable to hollow grind the face of the chisels before sharpening, or should they be left flat as they came from the factory? - Jack Dobrian #woodworking #woodshop #chisels #handtools

A through mortise is a mortise that goes through one face of the board to the other side. It can be considerably stronger than a mortise that does not go through the board. There are a lot of variations of mortise and tenon joints but, when you're looking for elegance and strength, a wedged through mortise is excellent.

Bench Dog's No. 62 Low Angle Jack Plane is among the most versatile planes available. Thanks to its adjustable mouth, it can take rough surfacing cuts and fine smoothing cuts equally in stride. The 25° blade is set bevel-up at a low bedding angle of 12°, creating a total effective angle of 37°. This low attack angle slices through difficult grain, including end grain. #woodworking #woodworker #handplane Woodworking Plan, Plane Gifts, Iron Body, Dog Weight, Low Bed
