Take out your aggressions by hand planing a glue-up of reclaimed pine!
This wood was in the bunkbed first I, then my baby brother, then BOTH of my kids slept in growing up. My daughter was given a bed from Disneyland's Grand California hotel (grandma works for Disneyland, so gets access to the employee store where stuff like this shows up). I didn't wanna just give it away or toss it, so I chopped it up into the largest possible pieces to save for something.
When we got the LCD tv last week I gave my daughter our 27" CRT TV. But it needs a stand. I thought this would be a great use of the wood. A glue-up top, three legs (it's going in the corner) and two shelves.
Since I don't have a planer or drum sander, and my little ROS sander would take a decade to get through the varnish, I decided to use my Stanley Bailey No. 5. I don't get much opportunity to use it any more, so I was looking forward to this.
Honed up the blade, and went to work. Discovered this pine tears out BAD if I get aggressive with the balde angle.
So I had to adjust it way down so I would barely scrape the surface.
I'm about 80% done (the other side of the glue-up in the pic is done) but my back just pooped out.
Man do I feel good though!
