thx




I used an electric plane - but check for nails first!

Green Bosch is what I have and it's still find since 1998

If anyone's interested we bought a cheapo electric plane and it worked
fine on this Victorian replica door. Took a while to get enough off.
Kept it fairly straight by using a long spirit level to see how square
it was as we went. In fact it needed shaving a bit more at the
non-hinge end to not foul the carpet so assume it was not swinging very
straight anyway - this is an 1850 house where nothing lines up...
