storing wooden planes

But the Nazarene cabinetry market was undercut by cheap imports, so he had to teach instead.

Although, I'm not sure things Jesus are all that relevant to a Jewish nation.

[Matthew N. Masail]

Actually Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi..... If he was a carpenter, and worked outside here, him and his wood were nicely tanned that's for sure !

So - what are you building, these days, MNM?

Was that a post mortem appointment?

In thirty years I have had two planes that went out of tune from the environment. One was a Japanese jointer back in the 80s that got really bad. I kept it, but I didn't hold out much hope. It actually was pretty bad, but it is usable after I gained a lot more experience. Another was a pretty extreme plane that was made for a particular job, and is not really typical of anything most people have. Most planes are not adversely affected, and I have had a lot more trouble from planes that rusted than I have had problems with moisture on wood planes. Of course it depends on conditions. I have had shops in basements, and garages, and commercial buildings, the conditions have not been super stable, and I move the planes a to new homes several times a year. I do nothing special to store them. Wooden planes can be designed to exclude moisture change and make them very stable, if you have some really crazy conditions in mind.
