Only 14 inches long, this tool can smooth out short areas of the board's edges. A useful aid for checking how well a job the plane is doing is a steel rule or straight edge. By placing it on the board's edge, you can try rocking it to check whether the convex rises or waves are getting planed away, or look under it to see if light shows through owing to concave surfaces or hollows (Fig. 4A).

I have three rules in 3, 4, and 5 foot lengths. These will deal with most lumber lengths. For a short board, you can test trueness or straightness by using the flat side of the plane itself. For testing the squareness of an edge to the face of the board, a try square is used (Fig. 4B).

When planing the edges, take down the high spots first. I usually darken over them with a pencil, not only for identification when I start planing, but also to show me what not to plane.

After the high spots have been planed down, a few passes with a long 22 in. jointer plane will complete the job. Jointer planes are expensive and unwieldy to use but they do have the advantage of spanning low areas along the board's edge and are especially useful for truing the edges of long boards and surfacing large glued-up slabs.

Whether you use a jack plane or a jointer, finish the edge with a full-
