So I did a quick practice rabbet with some scrap for a project I am working on. I wasn't paying close enough attention and I glued the face board opposite grain direction to the rabbet. The rabbet sits just barely proud of the face. I have been considering using my smoothing plane to clean this up, but how would I avoid tear out?
I am considering riding the iron just on the rabbet until it's very close and then finishing with a card scraper. Or is there a better way?
In a perfect world, I would have paid more attention, but I am going to chalk this one up to a learning experience.
