: Calling all master woodsman,
: I am needing a bench planer but do not have one or the money for
: one. So what alternatives are there? My project is wooden XC
: skis which will require a hardwood sandwich of 1/8 inch thick
: plys.
: Would a power hand planer work? Another thought for me is a drill
: press acting as a drum sander with a fence. I do not have either
: one of these but am willing to spend 150 dollars towards a new
: tool (less would be better). I do have the basics, table saw,
: miter saw, router (but no table).
: Please educate me on what I can do and what I might need for it.
: thanks,
: Scott
If you are willing to pay $150 for a new drill, why not go with a bench top joiner? Can get one at at Lowes or Home Depot for about that price. People forget that a joiner can be used to flatten wood. You'd have to use push pads, but could get a nice face for lamentation.
