Note planing thin boards — INTRODUCTION.

[1] To hold a board while planing it very thin, fasten it to another flat board with four wooden pegs.

For several of the models in this book, a flat board about 9" × 4" × 7/8" with a cleat nailed to one end and extending 1/8" above its upper surface will be found most convenient for holding thin boards while planing. If the cleat is a little wider than the height of the block on the bench-hook, the bench-hook serves well to hold it.
