Just curious...how do you thickness your wood without using the planer?


Hmmmmm ... comparative get you, or are you curious? What I wrote, which
makes sense, if you think about it, because there are two edges and one face
to join per board. If you rip it, you may even do another edge or so.

Alternatives exist. Though it was only once per class, and a single board,
I used to make foursquare and surfaced with handplanes from scrub to smooth
at school.
