      RWW 134 Planning Your Project Saw Cuts

      There are a lot of tools out there that make cut lists and any of them will work too, but I walk through a simple exercise in SketchUp that will help you plan out what kinds of boards to get when you go to the lumber yard, then aid your further in the shop to get a good color and grain match.

      At work I was asked to clean up a piece of vertical grain Douglas Fir to be sent to a client as a sample. I know I have covered this before but I thought I would just turn on the camera and let it roll while I hand planed the board. Enjoy!

      Workbench QA:Do I Want Hand Planes for Milling?

      I got a question from Joe wondering which hand planes would be best to replace a planer and jointer since he can't afford to buy those tools yet. I spend some time talking about planes for milling then broach a bigger subject about whether this is the best route to consider for the power tool or hybrid woodworker.
