A Revelation!

[Dan Larson]

This weekend I've been spending some time doing finish surfacing and edge roundovers on stock for a table project. As a way to force myself to expand on skills, I decided to put my jack, smoother, and block planes to work in favor of a router and random orbit sander. Wow, this is amazing... no dust, vibration, noise, or boredom... much faster too!:D

Planes are definately more fun than sanders, and now you have a good excuse to get a pet rat (can't wate all that nice bedding material).

Or maybe some hair?;)

Scrapers are great too!

Impressive too!!!! That's something I have not been able to master, but I am planning to tackle it as soon as I can afford some decent planes. I love that shaved ribbon hanging out of the plane.

Veritas low angle jointer $245, Veritas smooth plane $205, Veritas block plane $120, being able to listen to music while woodworking, priceless! There are somethings only hand tools can do for everything else there are power tools. :cool: :cool:
