Posting Gruesome Workshop Injuries

HallTree — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 04:27:26 GMT

I know that these are hard to look at and some of you do not think they should be posted. I feel for those that this has happen to. This month I will be 70. I have many scars on my hands from many years of working with power tools. Most of those scars a small. A couple are not, but I still have all of my fingers. I have desided that I am going to download those photo’s, and others that I find on the internet, and hang them on the walls of the woodshop in the senior co-op where I live. Most of the guys here are my age or older. We need a constant reminder.

An American Flag that was made about 5 years ago from the plans from the June 1991 issue of Wookbench.

Plane now or later?

I just inherited about 100 board feet of 4/4 rough saw walnut. These boards have been stored for a few years. I want to use some of these boards now so I am going to take them over to a friend’s woodshop and plane them to ¾. My question is: I am concerned about warping after planing. Should I plane them now, after I bring them into his shop, or should I wait a while? By the way, for the use of my friends planer I am going to buy him new planner blades.
