Default Hand plane - can you REALLY joint a perfectly straight edge?

Marc,

That sounds simple enough even a lout such as yours truly can understand.

The downside to this knowledge is that one paltry plane isn't gonna
"cut" it. Lord help me if they ever cancel my Visa card...

The plane removes all waves in the wood with wavelengths shorter than the
length of the plane. If you plane with a 24 inch jointer plane you will
only be left with waves longer than 24 inches. So it works if it is flat to
within accepted tolerances.
