I'm just starting my arsenal with DeWalt and have had good luck so far with the table saw, plunge and orbital and drills. I was looking at their plainer as well. Using my father in-laws ol' makita chop saw and I'm fairing pretty well at this point. We shall see! I should be able to get the blade honed at Ace Hardware right? Or should I find a Rockwell store? Thanks again for all the tips guys!
One more thing if you get one make sure to get it honed first, most good ones come unsharpened to avoid damage to the blades before sale. And request a 28 degree bevel on it.
Not a problem Denny. A power planer is nice to have, except for the price tag, but you can get the same effect with the spokeshave (around $25-$60 bucks) and spend the difference on material. Good Luck.
Thanks Rick. I saw a video on how that thing works and from what I can see it is pretty inexpensive and easy to use. I am definitely going to experiment with that thing to see if I can achieve this look!
Will do, just thinking of a way to incorporate similar styling into my built-in book case and desk. But I'll keep you up to speed! Thanks!
Just wanted to comment on another tool that works to distress the bench top and that is an adjustable flat faced spokeshave honed to a 28 degree bevel. I learned to use them on cabinet frames, doors and tops when I lived in Az. It takes a little adjusting and some time to get use to but in the long run it is a very easy and inexpensive way to add a country or rustic look to your projects. You would be surprised to see see how easy it is and with a sharp blade it is not much of a workout.
No problem...let me know if you have any other questions. And make sure you post pics.
I think there are various ways to remove the wood. With a hand planar you will have to play with the blade so as not to gouge into the piece and just get stuck....nice smooth passes will work, building up to the desired depths. Going with the grain will obviously be easiest and you may find you don't have to do any cross cuts. Good Luck, I am sure you will find a way to get it done.

I making a hex ring out of 2x4s ripped to 2 ¾ inches wide with 30 degree miters. What setting on the Jig should I used? 1 ½ is too much. Thanks.Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
