I know in Paul’s video he says when doing the initial planing of the 2x4s for the bench tops not to worry too much about grain direction. I think if you did using the type of stock he suggests you might drive yourself crazy. However, how much tear out as a result of planing against the grain is too much tear out for the gluing up process?
Has anyone else had this problem?
Also, I’m using a #5 Stanly set real shallow because it’s all I have, and not the #4 Paul suggests.

21 February 2013 at 1:45 am #8272Paul makes some comments in the video about the type of wood to use to make the bench. What are good types of wood to use if you’re on a tight budget? I have access to some pine 2x’s from my dad. They’re scrap off of his job sites. But, I also have access to some old wood out of a barn my family owns. The barn has rough sawn pine 2×4’s, and so long as I remove all metal, would these be OK for constructing a bench?
