I'm sure the 'real' woodworkers that frequent the wreck could no doubt
create an invisible glue line using a dull adz.

You cats have never used a jointer plane properly, obviously.

Sure, any plane will hit the high spots first. It will continue to
take down the high spots till they are at the same level as the lowest
low spot, after which you have a clean, straight edge.

Done it lots of times, not dreaming!

If they didn't do this well, as someone said, the great joinery in
pre-electricity days wouldn;t have been possible.

They didn't have rasps and sandpaper back then?


You can edge join planks using rasps and sandpaper, and come out with
an invisible glue line? My hat is off to you.
