Hi all. I've recently discovered an interest in word working after building a small tool shed that led me to build some reclining chaisse lounge chairs and now I am hooked. I came across this board by accident and have been reading various threads and am impressed with the help available. Not having the space or budget to get a joiner and planer I've decided to buy a simple bench top planer (something like the Dewalt, Ridgid or Delta models) which I can use to build indoor furniture using solid wood instead of plywood. I've read some threads on flattening boards using a joiner and then planing to thickness, and being a newbie I'm sure this is not a new idea, but could I accomplish the same thing with a planer only, say by building an extension to the in and out feed tables, and then planing slowing with the concave side down?
Thanks in advance for your help!
