I making a end grain cutting board, but I am not asking about planing end grain. With the design I am trying, the initial glue-up is too wide for the planer. I can cross-cut the glue-up in half to fit, but the grain direction would be sideways to the planer cut. I know with a hand tools, I can handplane directly across the grain to quickly flatten a panel followed by handplaning with the grain to finish the surface.
I do have a spiral cut head on the planer, but thinking that this may not be a good idea. If it was worth trying, I think I would have to glue on sacrificial strip on the tail end.
some of you may remmber Gerd Fritsch, who died in September 2022 and left his lovely wife with a lot of finished and unfinished planes and parts. After picking some family heirlooms they decided to sell most of Gerds tools so the tools will be used. This is the first of not so many auction of Gerd's last planes:
Yard sale items....stopped by a place called "Junk-n-the-Box" and found a Stanley No.5....well, I found 3 side by side...middle one was blue, right one was missing a bunch of parts..left one left with me for $5..
Turned out to be a Stanley Type 14/15...only damage found was a chipped corner on the lever cap...with 1/2 of the nickel plate worn away....still had a trace of orange paint in the clipped Corner logo ....and some orange paint on the sides of the frog..
Full tear down...clean up, sharpen up..
Clean out the mess...
No paint was involved...just a wipe down of the black japanning with some 3in1 oil..
Ready to go back to work..BTW..the iron does have that SW trademark....
Second plane, cost $10..
I have seen worst....but, this one was the same size as a Stanley No. 4-1/2c....figured I could replace the tote...and clean it up a bit..
Took a while, and it did involve paint this time..
Turned out to be a Sargent Type 3 No. 410c, sold as a Fulton at Sears...
Same same as my Stanley No. 4-1/2, Type 11 SW...
Just that the Stanley (same age?) cost me $70 more that the Sargent made plane....

More specifically, this table will go in a bay window dining area where the window seats have already been constructed, so it will probably be a little oddly shaped and more casual that a formal dining room table. I've built three tables before. One was a large four legged dining table and two were smaller trestle tables, but I don't consider myself an expert. I'm doing this for a neighbor and if there is a good comprehensive book out there that covers both design and construction I'm sure I could benefit from it. Papa Jim
Just wanted to brag on my son for completing his 4H Fair project- a waterfall bookcase. Credit to my wife for picking the plans, it's not something I would have picked but I like the finished product a lot. It is made of mahogany, with a dye stain/ shellac finish, and has a dovetailed drawer (machine cut).
