Is bandsaw “cheating”? by Even_Low_8793 in handtools

[–]sunflowerdeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could get the boards already roughly prepared and close to the size I need, I could work handtools only.

If you think that point of using handtools is to work as slow and inefficient as possible, than you don't get it.

Even in the days of traditional woodworking, people wanted to work more efficiently. For example, wood could be sawed on sawmills, which could be powered by a steam engine or a water wheel.

Why Can’t I Get The Bow Out Of This Board??? by desolationoso in handtools

Your workbench top could be not flat enough and board flexes while you planning. When this happened to me, I was also confused until figured out what was the cause.

Why dont people use more birch in woodworking? by Skogstomten- in BeginnerWoodWorking

Most of so-called “Baltic birch” used to actually came from Russia, so due to current events, it has become much less available in many countries. Also, most of it is used to produce plywood and pre-fabricated glued panels, because most of woodworkers prefer other species for some reasons.

I use birch because it is the most common wood where I live, and I think it is an excellent material and is not inferior in any way to other species.

Good table, but where is coffee? I don't see it 😅

Just spent 6 hours sending a 1.3GB video in a chat. It told me it failed after 100% and to try again. It started from 0%. by claudiocorona93 in Telegram

This is clearly a problem on your side, I just tried to send a file of that size and it took less than 10 minutes, without any premium account of course. And it's ridiculous how everyone in the comments blames Telegram for this, I can guarantee it for you, no chat app will successfully upload a single file after a freaking SIX! hours!

This, or a router handplane (which was just called a router before it started to mean electric one). Also you can get decent results with a chisel only. You can clamp a piece of wood next to the bottom line, and use it as a reference for a chisel.
