Thank you about use /ing hand plane

[@onlywiseman]

Great Tips. How would you create side handles and "grooves for juices" with hand tools? Thank you

[@BRFineWoodworking]

I’d probably just carve them in with carving gouges.

Don't sand. Grain pops better planed. Kinda defeats the purpose of using a smoothing plane.

[@rostoi6985]

Hi I don't understand why you all on youtube are planning that much accross the grain to flatten surfaces. Work with the grain please. Only need to think a bit more time but it is the way wood must be worked.

[@BRFineWoodworking]

I can't speak of anyone else, but I work this way because it’s a historically accurate and correct way to do it, that also happens to be extremely efficient and effective.

[@rostoi6985]

@@BRFineWoodworking believe me working with the grain is a way better and softer.

[@BRFineWoodworking]

After over 20 years of working exclusively by hand and taking thousands of board feet of lumber from rough sawn to finish ready using only hand planes, I'll have to agree to disagree.

[@rostoi6985]

@@BRFineWoodworking i understand. There s another way.

[@BRFineWoodworking]

Yes indeed. The beautiful thing about this craft is that there always is another way, and none of them are wrong. Thanks for providing your perspective.
