here is a little question for the Neanderthal out there:
taper a leg, using just a few hand planes? Anyone other try this? Just mark a line on a leg blank, and plane to the line, repeat for a second taper, and do another leg?
Plane sizes you used? ( not concerned about who made them, just the sizes) Did you need sandpaper when done? Or, maybe a spokeshave? Scraper?
Or, just too much work?
