Working with thin stock

[harry strasil]

This thread from long ago shows my mini thickness planner I made to accomplish retitive thicknessing of the parquetry pieces in the tops of my demo tool boxes and its adjustable. I used a Stanley 140 I think skew angle block plane that slides in the rails.

Man, that is still clever.
The whole range of things that sliding wedges can do
beyond holding stuff down - I shoulda paid attention in shop class.

But no, I was going to College!

I'm probably not alone in paying big money to learn the stuff
they tried to demonstrate - for free - back in High School.

I"m just a hobbiest WWer, Blacksmith by trade, but so much of the information overlaps. Right now I can't do much of either because of my back injury in Jan of 2006, but hopefully that will change on 2-4-14 when the Neurosurgeon works on me. I think I finally found one that I trust.
My oldest daughter is worried that I won't have anything to do during the 4 to 6 week recovery period, but I told her I have a drawer full of chisels and another full of planes that need their cutting edges touched up, so I get to use all those diamond sharpening things I have been collecting from internet specials that Woodcraft, Rockler, Lee Valley and other wwing concerns have sent over the years. + I have several hand saws local WWers have left with me to sharpen
