I’ve just picked up a beat up wooden fore plane - 17 inches long with a relatively narrow cambered iron and wide mouth. After planing the sole and honing the blade I have to say the thing is a revelation. Like a scrub plane it’s quick but the length means you are leveling without really thinking too hard. Take care of twist first, obviously, as on longer boards even a long plane might ride through a twist. It’s a lot lighter than a similar size metal bodied plane so good for long sessions.

Great video man! Good advice that is actually accurate. I’m beginning to see that so many of these YT videos are very bad information. Watched a ton of barn door build videos that are just gonna warp like crazy. Just like when you mentioned the Mdf sled. You’ve tried it. Doesn’t work. I followed one of those videos and had a very pretty door that will warp like crazy come winter. As someone who is about to try to buy his first rough lumber and mill it, this was a super helpful video. Thanks!

This is how I do it. I'm not looking for perfection with the hand plane. I don't try and fix any bits of tear out. If I flip it "clean" face down and it feels flat. I run it through my cheap planer... Before I'm done planing, both sides will be go through the planer. Like you said in the video. The jig doesn't work for long boards... I glued the MDF together for a sled too. I found it rigid, but just to heavy and I'm pretty fit. I do my edges with a jig on the table saw, but you definitely get a cleaner edge then I do with a hand plane. PS: if I could do it again I would have bought an electric hand plane for this task. I will when I have more money. Thanks for the great content! I hope lots of people correct themselves to take this path before wasting as much time as I did.

Hi Ben, another great video, as usual. As a relative newbie to woodworking I hear people say all the time to get your boards somewhere near to final size, and then let them acclimatise before finishing to the final size. My question is how near is near? Is it 5mm on the length, width, height or is it more or less than that? Having not really had the experience of boards shifting to date any advice, will I'm sure, save me some hard earned in the future.

Only here in north America (U.S and Canada) is a planer called a jointer or a thickness planer/thicknesser is called a planer. I'm not sure but I think it was a marketing decision to distinguish the two during the early DIY boom somewhere around the 50's. Or maybe a woodworker saw a 6" or 8" planer and said, "You can't plane anything on that, it's only wide enough to joint on". Anyway, I prefer Planer/Thicknesser myself. All the Best, Chuck

Two questions: One: how would you approach a board that's about say, 80 inches long with this technique - I'd love to see a video on that Two: Your scrub plane has a hella huge camber to it... any comments? - I understand the 'why" of the camber, but why do you have THAT MUCH?

Howzit Matt! 😊 I’d approach it exactly the same I’d have it clamped in place along the face of the bench shooting the plane diagonal across the board. With a board that long I’d make sure I’ve read the board really well first. The plane came like that from veritas, that’s kinda what I was showing that’s ridiculous camber and a normal flat grind blade pardon the pun will cut it. Sawn boards from a good supplier should never need that kinda camber. Also did you see how thick the iron is 🤯 A2 steel works just fine doesn’t need to that thick. In short that scrub plane was an unnecessary buy. 👍

What you're saying makes sense, but there's a little more to it, especially for the novice, who is likely the type of woodworker who is asking the question. They are just as likely to not have the hand tools and/or an adequate workbench. One might think they can save money by not having to buy a jointer (aka planer, lol), following your advice, but they're still looking at buying decent hand planes, a sharpening system and possibly something to firmly hold any size board they would typically be trying to mill. I'm not knocking your advice. I think it's very sound advice. You just missed the reality of what the novice woodworking probably lacks trying to follow it.

Great video Ben but I'll disagree with your advice at 5:20 in the video re tilting the plane to fix a slight angle on the edge of the board. All the old hands I worked with years ago just moved the plane over slightly so they were only taking a pass on the angled area of the board, then go back and have one more full length pass to get it true. Angling the plane is too prone to moving and creating a bigger problem, especially with the bigger/heavier planes. Paul Sellers has a great video on the subject.

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives kzbin.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

how is 20 minutes with a hand plane quicker than a couple shims and a piece of MDF? I'm not against getting the same results with hand tools... but you're not gonna convince me that knocking down high spots with a scrub is quicker than a pass through the planer.

Great video. Timely too. I just made my son a desk from old scaffold boards I had laying around. They had a nasty twist . Bought melamine sled. Used a ton of hot glue and shims to stop it rocking and whacked it through the thicknesser. Then flipped it. Trying to clean that glue off was a job. As you said it was over long and heavy. I’m making myself a work bench next with no sled. Only thing is snipe. Guess I’ll just have to lose a few inches from each end. Thanks again great video.

Brave to use scaff boards mate 😬 With snipe on lunch box planers you either lock off the out feed and in feed tables so they’re rock solid with absolutely no give/play in them or make a jig with a piece of melamine running through the planer and built so it’s supported 100% in and out feed sides Hope that makes sense? The machine also needs to be bolted down so it can’t move. Then you shouldn’t have any snipe. 👍

I agree that the sledge are not a convenient solution, but here in France a good hand plane cost nearly the price of a small planer thicknesser ...
