block plane leveler

The Original Designer of this tool, John Bokstrom

Do you know that half the energy you use in planing is wasted?

That’s right—it’s wasted just holding the plane level. I didn’t realize

this until I had developed my leveler and used it for a few hours.

And though planing requires only half the effort--the real benefit

is that the plane is always level with the planing form, and the

accuracy of the splines is thus greatly improved. It is even possible

to make a full pass with the hand held flat and only the heel on the

handle to provide the push. This might be a show-off move but it

demonstrates that you don’t waste energy holding the plane level.

Also, full length shavings, even from butt strips, become commonplace.

This right up is from “Best of the Planing Form” and I believe originally written by

John Bokstrom himself.
