If you don't have a shaper, you can do it on the table saw using an auxilary fence(s) clamped across the top. It requires multiple light passes, but it shouldn't be too bad for your project.

Jeff,
Yes, I did re-saw/bend/glue the jarrah. I cut them slightly over 1/8" thick then ran them through my planer down to 1/8". I probably should have gone a little thinner......it would have...
Lee Valley has piano-style stop hinges that open to between 100-105 degrees (part#'s 00D80.01-.05) that are $2.30 for the largest (200mm X 9mm) for each. Another option maybe if anybody make a longer...
Just finished up with a couple of projects before the tools get packed away for the pending move. The first one is for the wife of a Marine killed in Iraq; the flag case that was given to her by the...
Since you are talking "final pass", have you give any thought to a scraper plane or just a regular card scraper? The LN scraper planes are very adjustable and are easier on the hands than a card...
I picked up a Laguna Tools bench with cabinets up on the secondary market and I like it. The quality of the vises is good and they work well. The top did require some flattening (previous owner used...
What's the old saying, "If you can't make it square, make it adjustable"? Manmade materials (MDF/Plywood) for the base and fence will be less susceptible to seasonal movement. I only took half of the...
This stand is 27"W X 24"D X 35"H. The bottom is open on both sides and the drawer can be opened from either side.

Know the feeling...my father-in-law knows I am on the lookout for planes, so when he's looking for treasures for himself, he keeps an eye out. He was at an old farm stead with the owner and going...
Roger, gorgeous work! Your level of patience, skill and attention to detail is the kind I hope to achieve someday.....
Chuck,
It was a little ad in the local Sunday classifieds. A woodworker has to quit due to health reasons and was selling his shop. I called and he was trying to sell it as a complete shop first...
Save up for a Festool OF1400.
I have a "yellow" two-speed bench top planer. Never had a problem with it and always get excellent results with it. Like somebody alluded to earlier....you can't make everybody happy.
Picked these up today for what I consider a steal.....

Ryan,
Seeing that little beauty is hard,,,,reminds me of that almost complete set of Type 11's I got rid of. Congrats on the results of all your hard work!
I am not too big on buying "sets" of chisels. I had a starter of the blue handled type when I first started ww, but after awhile I noticed I was routinely reaching for only 2 or 3 of the set. A nice...

FWW did a review a few issues back and thought the Rigid was the best of the bunch because of value and features.
For content and photography, FWW. But Woodsmith is a close second because of all content, no ads.
Matt,
I did it like flattening a wide board with a handplane....sort of a 45 degree across the long axis of the sole and alternating sides every few strokes (I gueses you could think of it as a...
I had one like that....I placed it in a vise, started with a flat file to work out the crown and periodically checked my progress with a straight edge to make sure I wasn't going too far the other...
I think another reason is shipping (in most cases well over $20) on the big boys, especially with ever increasing postal rates and climbing UPS fuel charges. I've sold alot of hand planes on Ebay...
Sure, you can set that ice-cold drink down on that table saw over there.
Here, hon....use my Japanese chisel to get those weeds out of the sidewalk cracks.
True comment made to me by a...
....on Ebay to cash in. The trend of LN planes going for more than what it would cost to get them new from LN directly continues. You would figure that somebody who is bidding online would use that...
Didn't see the show, but probably Bessey SuperGrips.......
Rockler has them for around $60 a piece.
