More Key Bench Planes

You can get an awful lot of work

done with a jack but there are

three other sizes of bench planes

that I use.

Jointer

The jointer (a #7 or #8) is a long

plane that will allow you to joint long

edges and flatten large surfaces

with ease. The longer the plane the

flatter the surface it will create.

Smoother

The #4 smoother is a smaller plane

than the jack. The plane is a bit

lighter and easier to maneuver on

the surface that you’re preparing

for finish. I like using wooden

smoothers because the wooden

sole of the plane burnishes the

surface you are smoothing, making

it shine even before finishing.

Block Plane

In addition to these two planes you

can also use a small, one-handed

block plane. Block planes are

specifically designed to work on

end-grain. They typically have a

low-angle blade bed, which means

that the blade is inserted bevel up.

Block planes are good for small

trimming jobs, softening hard edges,

and other small tasks at the bench.
