I did not get it for the kayak and boat builds. I got along just fine without. But what a great excuse for a planer for other thing when you are building a boat for your spouse. It is handy for laminated paddle buildiing
though.
: Although I'm a newbie at this (just starting first kayak), I have
: to agree... one does NOT NEED a planer to get great results.
: After all the reading I've done, I liked Vaclav's method in that
: putting more work in fitting the strips means less work at the
: other end with the planing and sanding.... so I've planed my
: strips for thickness. As for the "face" of the board
: => edges of strips, I left those rough cut. Hand bevelling
: and ripping some strips to a thinner width to get around tight
: curves takes care of the edges. Now that I think of it tho....
: planing the board before ripping strips would give a nice clean
: edge to start with.... meh, don't matter, I'm ripping a small
: bevel on the tablesaw :)
