I'd love to see some pics of the tool box, maybe you could send me some and I'll post them? For planing a finished surface its all about a sharp smoothing plane and taking light passes. Like everything in life there may be a learning curve but practice and you'll get there soon enough. As for squaring stock without a block plane- use your bench plane and a shooting board, that works for me- cheers! Greg, thanks for the comment.

Started on the cabinet today. Although I did all the planing and joinery by hand, I did end up using a power sander for the finish. I just couldn't take any more sanding. Any tips on using a plane to end up with a finished surface? Also, I don't have a block plane, so I have real trouble squaring up the end grain of a board. I'm saving up my pennies, but any tips in the meantime? Dear Tom,

I've never seen this type of clamp before. Can you please mention a little something about them? Cheers, bE Hi Tom,

They're also available at Rockler Woodworking and Hardware in the US. I forgot to mention where I purchased them in the book and my error was recently pointed out- (thanks Alf!) Hi everyone,
