<p>Sad to say I'll be 55 this month and am just now getting interested in woodworking, largely due to the Kreg tool and how fun it all looks. I've had a few woodworking tools over the years but am now trying to buy some (already ordered and received my Kreg jig kit). Planes are on the menu, but they certainly don't go cheap do they?

<p>What I'm doing is covering a ceiling on a sunporch in an old house. I'm using 11/32" thick beadboard. Since the wall at ceiling level has a lot of zigs and zags for door openings, windows, etc. I am making molding out of 1x2 pine with a 3/8" x 1/2" rabbet next to the ceiling and a roundover bottom edge. This will leave a fairly square channel to slip the beadboard into and provide support along one end wall that has no joist avalable for nailing. 1x2 isn't that wide to begin with so I am using the micro jig set to 5/8" to avoid the rabbet. It does, however, put the pockets right in the roundover.</p>
<p>Thanks again for the input.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jens - I may just do the Bondo thing. Not far enough along yet to make a decision on that.</p>

<p>however, the head dia may be too large, to fit in the size of pocket hole, you're making.</p>

<p>Planes were a tool of necessity.</p>
<p>Not many of them used today.</p>
<p>Planes are the best for smoothing.</p>
<p>Most everybody wants to jump right into using power tools,</p>
<p>but they don't know how to use a hand tool.</p>
