Planer Thicknesser session 1st April 17.45 (no joke)

[calaiswood (Andrew Gaines)]

Hi everyone,
@Ryanf and I will be using the planer/thicknesser on Friday evening (from around 5:45 p.m. or so) to mill some wonky oak beams into a bench. It won’t be a proper induction or anything but if anyone is interested in seeing how the machine can be used by a real professional (Ryan…) please feel free to stop by.

That sounds really useful, I will try to make it as I would like to see it in action.

[smjmaker (Steve Jones)]

Gonna try to be there too, wonky oak beams is what it is all about no?

[PReardon (Paul Reardon)]

[tomba (Tom Bartlett)]

I’m keen to see this in action too so will pop down

[Jamie_Scuffell]

Fantastic - this is enough to get me back to the makerspace! I’ll pop down too.

[calaiswood (Andrew Gaines)]

Thanks to everyone who came, and of course the excellently pedagogical Ryan for showing us what the planer thicknesses can accomplish. We’ll finish the beams off in a few weeks.

Nice work!

Thanks for sharing the pics

How was it planning the beams? Have a couple to do but longer, grateful for any tips.

[tomba (Tom Bartlett)]

Many thanks @Ryanf and @calaiswood for the great demo.

Keen to get an induction whenever possible.

[calaiswood (Andrew Gaines)]

Stop by in a few weeks when we’ll do the rest of the beams. Will keep you posted on dates…
