Here is a youtube vid I found recently of a guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg0jUWJPweg


showing how he uses an altered rabbet plane (turned into a scrub) and other planes to prep a large slab for a tabletop. I found the production on this short youtube video to be exceptional and thought I'd share it with y'all.

His site is www.davidmoorefurniture.com

WOW that's an amazing find Lawrence! I had no idea the importance of a scrub plane when hand working boards.

Thanks man, you rock! 8)

Here's another from the same guy on scratch moulding.

I just did this for an "Ikea" style desktop for my daughter:

I don't have an awesome planing jig like Frank does so I used "battens" to hold the panel in place. :D

I had no idea the importance of a scrub plane when hand working boards.

It is a fairly new "invention" and not typically considered to be "traditional". A Jack plane with a highly cambered iron is more typical. I'm not discounting this mans technique, with a minimal of tools he's done the job properly.

If I had a scrub plane, I'd certainly use it. But, fortunately, I have a plethora of Jack planes that can be setup for different uses. :D

A strong, raking light is a critical element in this process ... great tip.

I've got two scrubs, a woodie and a LN. They're great for setting up flat spots on turning pieces headed for the bandsaw. Narrower footprint makes them more maneuverable than a jack, which was the traditional finishing plane for insides and unders on old furniture. Behind all that marquetry and veneering was usually a base planed cross-grain with a convex iron, and all the marks left.

It's tough work, which is why it was a job for apprentices.
