I sure can't figure out the problem looking at those photos.
Stanley #74 would have been the answer, my knees and back ache just thinking about hand planing a floor.
I just told you, it's my favorite after 39 years of turning. You can register your thumb in a valley between lobes and you get a better grip with less effort.
That's a 6" jointer right? 3/4 hp should be more than enough. Just how much material are you trying to remove in one pass? Making an extra pass would be a lot cheaper than a new motor!
This article pretty much covers all that can be wrong with log which will give you unstable lumber....
Originally it would have been done with hand planes
Sending the board through the planer in the proper direction is far more important that feed speed. Feed speed is just about cuts per inch for a smoother look, but it does little to change tear out,...
The tri-lobe by Hannes Tool
I'd think an old horizontal mill with a vise on the bed would work well. They don't bring much money as most prefer a knee mill. $800 for this good example....
I knew there would be a "slick" discussion, but the rules of the contest were quite nondescript. LOL
Carpenter’s Slick
A carpenter’s slick is a type of chisel used with two hands to pare long...

I've hollow ground for over 50 years.
I meant the 90 degree elbow and the 2" shop vac hose adapter. My model 100 was old enough that it had no factory chip collector, just a deflector. So almost all the early models had to have some kind...
I like the casters better than choking down the chip shroud like that. Run some 11" wide poplar through there and the shroud will be full.
The thing about color in wood, is that it is never light fast and the colors dull and in poplar's case, all those purples and green will turn to shades of brown and tan over time.
How many times will the customer have you repair a broken joint before they take the work somewhere else? And how does it work when you tell your customers that you used a weaker glue so the joint...
You can try, super light shearing cuts, sharpening the gouges right before the finish cut, a wash coat of shellac before each finish cut, applying shaving cream that swells up the fibers and adds a...
What kind of tooling? Carbide scraper? A damp surface won't help them.
put a couple of paint on the steel.
For fine work you cut stencils from blasting frisket.
You are asking on a 6 1/2 year old post. Start a fresh post for better luck.
The best tip I ever got about gluing loose tenons in chairs was from a professional furniture repairman. He took an 1/8" drill bit and drilled from the bottom of the rung and aimed for the bottom of...
First item is a huge air compressor. Sandblasting is like cutting the end off the hose and wanting the compressor to keep up. So many people think waiting for a compressor is not a big deal, but when...
Boiled linseed oil will actually promote mold growth, because it's made from flax seed. That is of course if they haven't added a mildewcide in it.
