I am planning my next project to be a set of shelves as you see below. The THickness is 2" and the width is about 15-18". Looks like it will be made of pine.
I currently have a 6" Jointer Jet, 13" Dewalt planer, a Jet Tablesaw, a #4 LV planer, a LN low angle block plane, plunge router, and hopfully soon a #7 Stanley. There are other misc tools, jig saw, cut-off saw, drill press, a million clamps, randon orbital sander, etc. I am not a purest and will use power tools when possible. Since the shelves will be > 13", hand planing will be a must.
My plan is for each shelf peice is to use my jointer (electric) and flatten up and then electric plane three 5.25 wide peices, glue them up, then hand plane them.
The next step will be to make the joinery. I want to use through tenons as opposed to dados (just because ttenons look neat).
My question is, what other planes should I budget for?
I am thinking a LV LARGE Rabbet plane and a LV bull nose plane are the major items. Anything I am missing that is "major"? Time to tell my wife next years tool budget! :D
Thanks
