Should be done by the end of the weekend. I'm just doing one glue joint a day. Some of my local friends look at me like I've grown a second head when I tell them what I'm up to, especially when I tell them that I'm doing this with hand planes. This is probably not new to most of the folks here, but I thought I'd share how this is really not as much manual labor as you might think. Here's a picture of how out of square the beam I was working on this morning was. That's out 1/16" over the 3 1/2" width of the beam. Boy do I suck! Now, when most people think of hand planes, the image of a finely tuned plane making those 0.001", wispy, see-through shavings that just float in the air immediately comes to mind for most people. We don't need no girly-man plane like that for this job. I have a jack plane set up with a decent amount of camber and set for an aggressive shaving. This is the shaving that I get with this plane. Just under 1/100" thick, and it falls straight to the ground. Japanese plane aficionados like myself would be horrified at such a thing. But this is important for this purpose. Remember, I need to knock down 1/16" to get the faces square. 1/16" = 0.0625". If my plane takes a shaving 0.009" thick, it should take me only 7 swipes of the plane to take off 1/16" of material. This is what I got after 9 swipes. (I got excited.) Not too bad! And easier than trying to put an eight foot long 4x4 back on my jointer. Not to mention the lack of dust and noise. My beam is eight feet long, as I said. I can work on a 2 foot section at a time, so 4 rounds of this and I have the whole beam squared up. -------------------- Hail St. Roy, Full of Grace, The Schwarz is with thee. Blessed art thou among woodworkers, and blessed is the fruit of thy saw, dovetails. Holy St. Roy, Master of Chisels, pray for us sharpeners now, and at the hour of planing. Amen. $300 is a lot of Money! giant Cypress: Japanese tool blog Post Extras
