Now that the top is flat, it is time to start working on the back apron of #TheEnglishWorkbench. I am going to start with the scrub plane to quickly bring the top down, level with the apron. #woodworking #workbench
The back apron is flat and square to the top of #TheEnglishWorkbench. I had a lot of grain direction inversions so I ended up finishing up with a cabinet scraper. One thing I liked about planing these large (the top) and long surfaces is that it forced me to learn how to plane while walking, hold the plane with either hand (when planing the other side of the top) and planing backwards (pulling the plane towards me when I was tired or when the legs of the bench would have been in the way). #handtoolsonly #workbench #woodworking
