PLANING WOOD: TOOLS AND TIPS

Welcome in my Blog!
As you may have already figured out the previous articles, I am a lover of the romantic side of the joinery .
The dusty atmosphere of the traditional lab, the workbench  full of tools consumed by use, the wood chips on the floor.
90% of people who comes in this world  has in mind that picture of the old woodworker working in his dusty shop.
Now close your eyes for a moment and re-create this in your mind.
Zoom in slowly on the bench leaving in the background our craftsman who, very concentrated, is sawing a cherry plank.
Look carefully.

In this article I will list the most common (later go into them one by one in specific articles).

Of course you’ll have to choose the most suitable in each situation.

Unless the furniture is not done by following a style that provides visible screws, or already know that these will then be hidden in some way, you should apply the joints I explain in this article.

It must be said, however, that many of these joints, often are also consolidated by the use of screws and nails as well as by glue.
