Planes for smoothing
In article ,
says...
"Greg Guarino"
snipped respectfully.
I have no illusions that my junior high shop teacher would have
pronounced my scrap piece "SSS" (Straight, Square, Smooth) and I didn't
dare run a try square over it, but the finish was quite surprising. I
looked briefly online, and it seems there are craftsmen who prefer
planing over sanding, at least in some situations.
Sorry, but I can't help much, as I was removed from jr high shop because I
took out the school bully with a plane. I was much older before I learned
about planes. I'm not proud of my improper use of a plane, but I have never
really regretted it.
If the powers that be won't remove the little ******* from the school
then the only way to deal with him is to beat the crap out of him.
Doesn't really help his other victims, but at least he leaves _you_
alone. Unless you maimed him, in which case, well done.
