@Lissa Hall I'd gladly give you all of our snow and I'd give it without  the benefit of even a small huricane

Lissa, tell us about your planer.  Inquiring minds want to know...

i will share about the planer but raining today. so if i dont forget will get info off it tommorrow

here is the pictures of the planer i promised. been raining for two days here. so got all wet to get pictures. that is how important you guys are! lol, I also do plan on seeing if i can find instructions online. but I was being MAN-Like and figured worry about instructions later. Mr. charlie did teach me safty before he gave it to me.

ALso I will take as much snow as you folks feel like sharing. agreed with or without hurricane, but you do know trading inclement weather would be only fair you know.

Just saw this on social media-

I depends on how thin you are going. Most planers get down to about 3/16”. If you need to go less there are ways to manage it without a thickness sander. One way I have used is to use double sided tape. Stick the wood piece to a 3/4” pierce of using the tape and then you can plane down to 1/8” pretty easily and carefully peel it off using a wide razor scraping tool.

you may very well be able to find a manual online...i found several referenced, so it depends on the number you have.

351.233731

351.233831

 

per vintagemachinery web site 351 was made by Colovos Co.

it also may depend on the wood, if there is some grain run-out, a thin piece is liable to shatter.  Some woods, like hard maple, also seem to be fairly cohesive.

Just yesterday, I took some walnut, maple, red oak and mesquite down to 1/8 using Paul's method. It had been rewsawn to 3/16.
