Unfortunately, a DIY project + no workshop = using hand planes for strange purposes.
I have to cut some pl*wood up to finish up a DIY project that I started months ago, and have to finish before I can start my very first woodworking (and not DIY) project. DIY was my seque into woodworking.
I figured that a high-quality j*g saw + straight edge would cut straight enough lines for my purposes, but they haven't. Soooo.... to get my straight edge, I jointed with a LA jack. Seemed to dull quickly, but other than that worked okay.
Will using my LA Jack Plane on plywood cause any damage to the plane? Like, could there be any debri in their that could catch my sole and put a gouge in it?
Everybody has been so helpful with all the useful information - Soon I will stop reading and posting, and work some wood!!!!
Thanks!
Ray
