Now I know why people love planes so much...today I decided to get a small block plane to try out in order to dress up some pallet wood boards. I realize now that it's kind of small (my hands are protesting vigorously heh heh), but I am chalking it up as a learning experience. I had never used a plane before except to shave off a sticking door edge...with this thing I can get up close and personal with the wood - makes it easier to tell if a board is cupped or an edge not entirely straight.
No more sanding a raw board for me
.... to paraphrase Stan Lee: Excelsior - No more sawdust!
