With only the information from this short, you have no way of knowing if he flattened it. You might think he just removed an equal part of the top layer of wood, but it is possible he is checking for twist and high spots and removing the highs with the short bodied (smoothing size) electric planer.

Leveling surfaces like this freehand with planes is extremely common in the hand tool woodworking sphere.

that by no means is flattening. That is removing top layer of wood.
@cracktact7676Ай бұрын
By the means of removing more of the top layers of wood in specific areas, that is flattening. Use some hand tools you will learn a thing or two.

He uses a sander in the video. If you mean a surface planer or a drum sander, that’s far from necessary.

Gave me chest pains to watch him go against the grain the entire time
@cracktact7676Ай бұрын
Going against the grain is a common way of flattening with hand planes, both electric and traditional. You will often see twist and cupping in large board and slabs and will need to remove these high spots by traversing the grain. There is nothing inherently wrong with cross grain cuts with tools, I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from.

@cracktact7676 While what you say has merit, the manner in which this guy does it is not correct. I also have that plane. I got it a couple of months ago. Now that I have experience with that exact one, his technique is exponentially less correct as random cuts will not produce correctly planed wood. Also, sanding against the grain like that with a belly sander will produce scratches and gouge it, which can be cleaned up with an orbital, though it was not necessary in this situation.

@@travislebaube7646 I will admit I’ve never used an electric plane and I can see how the erratic nature of the electric plane could lead to tear out with cross grain movement. I also forgot he did sanding in the video.

Level is the wrong term here. Regardless, how can you distinguish flat from cupped or twisted with your eye, from the top?

Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.😊

@@charlyred111 This didnt flatten a damn thing. The issue with using a hand planer is that it can only reference whats around it. An actual planer references the whole bottom plate which is metal and actually flat. This is just the equivalent to eyeballing level and plumb.

@@ColtCraighow do you think boards were flattened before jointers and surface planers? Hand planes, and you can certainly flatten any size board with even the shortest of them, just by keeping track of high spots with a straightedge or winding sticks. Please read up on the history of the craft.
