I've got a rigid tp1300 13“ "portable" planer I need to get back to Alaska, and shipping the thing would cost me a minimum of $165 it looks like.

However, I am allowed three free bags up to 70...

Table top side, below the tenon; it was angled out proud of what would have been "in plane" and pushed the breadboard away about a 1/16".

It was an artifact of the way I cut the excess material...

Ok, turns out the table had picked up a minor cup (likely due to some water that leaked on it into the garage - which nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw it, btw).

So, the cup seems to have...

Hard to slip on... Either end M&T closes pretty good on its own (pushing on diagonally) so I think I'm good at those two spots, but when I square it up and push all 5 tongues in square it gets tight...

Hey all, I've got a breadboard end underway that I've jumped in to & its a touch snug... It's got a "typical" groove with spaced mortises on the breadboard and 5 tenon's with little stubs between...

I'm not sure if it's compattible, but I've got a stanley #46 "parts plane"... If your'e interested in any of getting any of the missing parts you need from that, let me know with a PM.

I've got a table build underway, with ~3/4" hickory as the main material for the top, but thicker 1-1/2" mahogany on the edges... As a result, I'm having a conundrum trying to decide how to do my...

Oops - overzealous autocorrect... Sorry! and thanks again for all the advice. Tried the mineral spirits on some cherry end grain I had to clean up for a stretcher and it was a nice little improvement.

Winston (and others) - On the wetting, just apply with rag (like a light waxing) or some other amount?

The stand the edge up and stand on bench method looks like what I'll be doing in a few...

Jim, noticing you are in AK as well if your in Anchorage, maybe at some point you'd be willing to either show me some of your "sharp" tools or take a look at mine.

Never really having had...

Thanks everybody for the big pile of replies. I'm guessing my problem is probably somewhat sharpness (masked on the cherry/oak/etc I've been able to do book with) combined with my somewhat awkward...

I'm fairly new to the whole woodworking and hand tool world, having only really been at it for a year or so.... And I've mostly made only spoons/spatulas and the Paul sellers workbench.

Anyway,...
