When sales get slow the bills don't so time for a big sale. All
planes ½ off plus shipping.
Purpleheart, ipe and padouk are all included any oddball wood is the
actual wood price like usual. I am out of Japanese irons but this sale
may get me caught up on that bill and you can get one later. But they
are not ½ off as I don't really make a profit on them. Screwcaps are ½
off the regular price is 30.00
Depending on how many sales it may take 1.5 months to ship the
planes. Sometimes I get really swamped and it takes awhile but for the
low price it will be worth the wait.
When you email me tell me what you want and your address so I can tell
you shipping. If you use more then one email address let me know as it
gets confusing.
I can take paypal a credit card directly or a check.
Please either use the same email address for our emails or include
the first one so I can keep track of everyone. I will give you a order
number to make keeping track easier.

OK, stoopid newbie question time. What kind of plane should I get? I
know, I know... depends on what I want to do. I am looking for
something to use to prepare/flatten rough wood enough to go through my
thickness planer. I own a jointer, but it is a 50+ year old 4-incher
with a pretty short bed. My planer, on the other hand, is the DW735.
I thought at first 'jointer plane' because, well... I'll be using it in
place of a power jointer. Then I read a little about the Jack plane on
the Knight Toolworks site; "The Jack Plane is used for hogging off
wood, leveling, flattening, and smoothing surfaces." Hmm.... leveling,
flattening... yep... sounds like what I want to do. But then I read a
little about the scrub plane, and thought that it might fit the bill,
as well, and get me to a 'flat enough' surface for passing through my
planer the quickest.
For the detail-curious (you know who you are), Most of the things I
make are fairly small; foot stools, shelf/coat racks, etc., and my
existing jointer works really well for glue-line edges. I've got a
whole big pile of rough oak, ash and maple, and most of it has some
sort of warp/bow/twist in it. I currently own an old #4 (smoother?),
and a block plane.
So... suggestions? I'd also like to know what the heck 'razee' is...
does that just mean it has a tote? Seems to me that would be a pretty
useful thing given my intended use. Thanks in advance, and as a
(mostly) lurker, thanks to all for the great info I've gleaned from the
Wreck over the past few years.

I would say a jack with a bit extra curve on the iron to knock the
high spots off. a scrub would do it a bit better but it only works for
hogging a lot of wood off.
a smoother would be a good choice along with the jack.
email me directly so I can keep track of all this.

Scrub plane. A jack plane is nice for smoothing large panels
