This thread is fantastic. I am really enjoying everyone's contribution.

Which floor planer would you point me to? I agree it seems a like a ton of money to put into a portable planer.




Me either, but people love to gush over that surface on youtube reviews of...

I want to go from rough to finish on domestics. I need versatility. I have a two car garage I like to use as a garage so the thought of storing the planer without needing its own floor square footage...

The DeWalt DW735 seems to be a default choice planer and putting in the byrd head is nice upgrade. Thirteen inch width is plenty for me. Is there something else I should consider? Is it "enough"? Am...

Thanks for the info on the software....

Off topic, but what are you drawing / rendering with?

Those tops are definitely not coming out... I scored quite a few edge clamps in the great Lowe's Bessey closeout of 2014 so that is a good idea. What are thoughts on the biscuits? I don't have a lot...

I need to attach this profiled edge piece to a MDF core desktop. I had originally thought I would use biscuits and then tape while the glue cured. I'm feeling some doubt on this and wanted to see...

Interesting to me how the spread of the LN lead in the poll is shrinking with time.

I am thinking of purchasing the Veritas® Bevel-Up Jointer Fence when I purchase the plane. I plan on sharpening the blade with a camber. It seems to me a cambered iron and using the side of the plane...

I am definitely in the get it done camp at this point in my life. My shop time is limited, and I need to get the work done. Most projects at this point come from the "honey do list". I'm new to this...

I was planning on getting them both in my hands this weekend at a show but those plans have fallen through.

Looking to get my first smoother.

Which would you choose? The Lee Valley bevel up smoother, or the LN #4 in bronze?

Should I consider something else?

I currently only use domestic hardwood.

I am thinking of heading to the Northeast woodworkers association show in Saratoga Springs. Having never been to this type of event, are there typically "show specials"? Lee Valley, Lie-Nielsen, DMT,...
