So I’m not new to woodworking but I’m new to hand tools I have to make a table and instead of turning my planer into a joiner using the flat board technique I was wondering what kind of hand planes I’d need to make a flat walnut table 10 inch planks. Or if u think I should just stick to what I know. Don’t want to screw up the material
Really depends on your background. American woodworkers have jointers planes all around, European culture have some but most hand woodworkers here will advise you to invest in a very straight edge and plane with our classic plane that's smaller than an American jack...
For a one time job and if you don't know how to use sharpen and set them, maybe stick to a general use plane you learn to use and care for.
I honestly pull my jointer out of the chest for such projects, but I've made tables and large stuff with my everyday plane too, it's just a bit more practice earned... At the cost of time and some material, but if you don't use handtools it will be anyways
