Hello,
I'm new to the forum and to wood woring and got myself into a some sort of predicament. Just last week, I bought a 2.5" x 11" x 7 ft mahogany, which happened to be warped on certain areas. I thought it would be very easy to plane it using hand planers and/or an electronic one. To my surprise, it was more difficult than what I expected! My work demands a lot of time from me so as much as I want to do the planing all day, I don't have the luxury of time.
Do the local sawmills accept cutting jobs? particularly the ones around rizal? I'm planning to have the woods cut to a 1 inch thick and planed across all angles which I plan to make as a dining table.
Hope anyone can help me on this. Thanks in advance!!!
The only wood cutting shops that I have seen open to public probably wont cut your wood to your preference. These shops cut or rip coco lumber.
Do you plan to make it a one-piece table top? Mejo mahirap nga trabahuhin yung ganyan kalaki.

yup! i bought 2 7 feet long planks kaso wala ng s4s and what's left was the warped wood. i was planning to plane it to square it na lang but time is not on my side and my dad is starting to come up with his own project for the woods na kasi nakakalat lang 🙁

Hi Krammy,
What is the final dimension you needed for the dining table? Is it possible to upload photo of the wood so I can see what kind of warp you're dealing with. Do you have a winding sticks in hand? This is very important for dimensioning the wood. Don't be intimidate by the work it's easy as long as you know where to start. If you don't know by now, to dimension a wood, your first step actually is to get one face flat, don't worry about the other three at this point.

by the way, i dont have a winding stick, what is that for? apologies for the beginner question 😀
How to use a winding stick 🙂
Ok bang gamitan ng thicknesser ang ganyan?
Thanks for that detailed explanation, boggieman! that made me more determined to approach this board head on!
on a side note, i did a quick search online for a #5 jack planer and would be getting one this weekend. the ones that i saw are the groz brand, are they any good? or would you recommend other jack planes, or even an electric one?
I know you said you have work but just in case . . .

Ang alam ko thichnesser planer talaga ang para sa ganyang trabaho. Hindi ko lang alam kung meron nun sa mga furniture makers natin. Pwede naman din manual or semi-manual (using electric planer) as described by Boggieman.

and of course yung link mo above esp for not so wide surface. isa sa mga pangarap ko yang thicknesser once mag focus na ako sa craft.
sweet responses, guys! now i have a lot of option to start the project, though might take a while to finish considering my time challenges hehehe. though i leaning towards using an electric planer for the job. the router part looks enticing too

I think it's a combination of both Jointer and Thicknesser.

I have the Gzoz no 7 as far as I know ok sya, however iba pa rin ang Stanley made or Record made. The decision is yours to make. Syempre po if we really want to make a good project we need the right tools for the job. This is the same reason why I had to buy my tools outside of the country.
I think it's the same approach sa Electric planer the only difference is it's powered.
^ speaking of planer, yung blade ng JCK ang bilis mapudpod. Ilang hard wood lang, ang laki na ng uka sa center. Ano ba ang magandang replacement blade?

I'm not updated sa power tools but I used Bosch before, both planer and blade. But this is one reason I switch to traditional approach, power tools is hard to sharpened, it;s disposable IMO, whereas a handplane it fun to sharpened 🙂
