Before you take a hammer to your next project and begin assembling the materials, make sure that each component is fine-tuned to your specifications with a hand plane. Start your project by cleaning and surfacing your raw lumber with a bench plane. Versatile wood shaping tools can even be used for jointing and edging boards, as well as assembling joints as you get closer to completing your project. Once the finish looks flat and beautiful, reach for a level to ensure that the surface has been properly smoothed.
Shorter block planes and specialty planes can be used for a variety of common wood shaping tasks around the workshop. Trim end grain with a reliable block plane featuring a lower angle measurement. Apply specialty planes to the surface of lumber to produce different edge designs, including those for rabbet joints, and to plow grooves. Before you begin using your chisels to hammer out the fine details, prepare the surface and edges of your lumber with new hand planes.
Whether you're an advanced woodworker or you're just starting a home workshop, hand planes and hand wood shaping tools from Sears can help you complete a variety of common woodworking tasks and specialty projects.
