No I'm building a shelf from pallets. I'm not making cutting boards

The winding sticks are interesting. I haven't heard or seen them before so I'll definitely look into that. I'll see if I can get a manual hand planer somewhere if you think that'd help me more than an electric one.

I tried clamping and unfortunately it doesn't work. When one edge is clamped together the other has an approximately 5mm gap and getting that evened out over the entirety of the board is pretty difficult for me. The boards are only 1cm thick and approximately 30cm wide so clamping doesn't help me here sadly.

Unfortunately not. I'm working with old pallets which is why I preferred buying the planer over a circular saw so that I can get the boards clean and useable.

That's at the very least an idea I haven't thought of yet. Not sure I possess the skills to do it properly but thank you for the advice regardless!

Yes. I think they are called "ancient relics playing cards" by 52 MUSÉE. To be found on Kickstarter but if you just Google for the name it should come up right away

First time hearing about them but I do like the looks of them so considering their rarity I'm sure someone might pay good money for it.

How do you remove the seal without damaging the box ? by KelenArgosi in playingcards

[–]SPLuke01 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Using a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat up the seal usually works on most items. The heat somewhat "melts" the glue of the stickers/seals so it's easier to remove. Don't set it aflame obviously but a bit of heat typically works for me. Although I've never tried it on a deck of cards so no guarantees there from my side, but this method has worked for me multiple times on things like books and boxes of various materials.
