A 90-degree shooting board that turns your router into an end grain planer. Preparation of stock. How to go about the proper preparation of a face side and a face edge of a board. It is from this point that all other measurements will follow. How to determine the correct sides to plane, how to use hand planes or power jointer to prepare the faces, how to plane end grain and other techniques are covered.

Tip on flattening (surfacing) a badly warped piece of stock using either a router or a table saw with dado blade. Technique for thickness-planing a cupped board and removing the cupping at the same time. Simple jig converts a router into a surface planer for small pieces of wood. Stock preparation. Techniques, equipment, and safety tips for machining rough stock. How to obtain a flat surface using a handplane. Tip on salvaging short lengths of twisted or warped wood by using hot melt glue and wedges to adhere it to a carrier before flattening the surface using a thickness planer. How to flatten a large laminated tabletop or bench top using only a router. Flat, straight and square. Simple milling sequence yields true stock. Working highly-figured wood. Combine hand tool and machine methods for tearout-free surfaces. Tips on planing, scraping, jointing, sanding, etc. Low-tech method for thickness planing strips of wood inlay using a hand plane.

Using machines to remove cup, crook, twist and other defects from lumber. Technique for handplaning a consistent convex shape. Tip suggests how to take a slight warp out of wood. Power tool jigs for routers. (1) Surfacing jig does the work of both a planer and a jointer. (2) Edge guide. A better design for cutting moldings, rabbets, and dadoes combines a clear acrylic base with a pivoting (adjustable) fence. Use a table or band saw as a planer. Preparing stock by hand using a plane. Preparing stock. Making your lumber flat, straight and precisely thick eliminates numerous hassles throughout a project. Advice on jointing, planing, and edge gluing. Tip on preventing a wide board from warping by installing tapered dovetail-section battens. Drill press or radial saw planes lumber. Stock preparation. Step-by-step procedures for cutting to rough size, jointing, thicknessing, and cutting to finished size. The key to identifying lumber grain is "reading" the end of the board. Some tips. Router thicknessing jig can handle thinner stock, wider panels and cupped or warped work pieces. The work piece stays put while the router (equipped with a bottom-cleaning bit) is moved over the work piece using a simple carriage mechanism. Tip: Use line chalk to locate low spots when hand-planing the surface of a glued-up piece. How to use a router as a surface planer for a small piece of wood. Tips on dressing rough-sawn wood using a jointer and thickness planer. How to flat-plane the face of piece of wood on a jointer using two pushblocks. An explanation of "hit-or-miss" planed stock. How to stabilize, face-joint and thickness-plane thicker lumber to end up with flat boards. Simple jig facilitates surfacing small pieces of exotic wood using a block plane. Tip: How to plane lumber to custom thickness using a router and router table. Tip: When gluing up large surfaces (such as tabletops) from smaller boards, be sure to layout the boards so they can be planed easily. Poor man's thickness planer. Tip on using a dado blade and a table saw to form thin stock for panels, etc. How to plane one surface down perfectly flush with another surface without disturbing the lower surface. This technique is often needed when edging around plywood, plastic laminate, etc. Techniques to plane thin pieces of wood without a thickness planer. (1) Equip a hand plane with side runners or sole runners. (2) Use a router table and a straight bit. Working with thin (1/4") wooden stock. (1) Book matching. (2) Edge-gluing. (3) Hand planing. (4) Planing with a router and a simple jig. Tip on using a router to square up the ragged ends of a glued-up panel. Technique for hand planing end grain accurately. Scrub, jack and jointer.
