Rasp? Just Sand It!

Furnished content.


Dale Barnard has been building furniture professionally for decades. And during a recent video shoot, it was very comforting to see that I wasnt the only one breaking the rules on sanding. Building a Greene & Greene furniture piece means changing transition levels in the wood frequently. And that leads to either rasping, filing or sanding to get things tidy. A combination of those processes is usually a good plan, […]The post Rasp? Just Sand It! appeared first on Popular Woodworking Magazine.

Letting Down the Next Generation of Woodworkers

Furnished content.


Im a big fan of Mike Rowe, the Dirty Jobs guy. I say that having only seen a few episodes of that show. I came to know him from his Ted Talks, online interviews and his address to Congress. I think the message he preaches about hard work, safety, life in general make sense. His foundation supporting skilled trades is making a concerted effort to pick up the slack in […]The post Letting Down the Next Generation of Woodworkers appeared first on Popular Woodworking Magazine.

Furnished content.

But all planes do some straightening of the work, and most planes do some smoothing, too. So this simple rule of thumb is actually a bit more complex in practice. After all, some very […]The post Handplanes: The Long and Short of Flat appeared first on Popular Woodworking Magazine.
