@@SquareTailWood Hello Emily! I work mostly with solid wood...a lot of pine, some Douglas fir and poplar. I also like cherry and want to try Port Orford or Yellow cedar. I like hand tools because they’re quiet and a lot of fun to use. I have been working on learning to use Japanese hand planes and also use Japanese saws. I have a few old Stanley planes but really like the Japanese tools. Keep up the good work, it’s interesting to see you work through things on your videos and I learn a lot by watching!
Thanks for your reply! I’m experimenting with 1/4 plywood because it has light weight and doesn’t need to be planned flat. But I don’t like using hand tools on it. Maybe plywood is designed for machines. I need to practice using hand planes… My reasons for using hand tools are similar to yours. I like Japanese saws. (Haven’t tried western saws though.) They are so easy to use and can give me very good results when I am not in a rush. Really appreciate your reply! Woodworking fellows are the best!

Thank you so much! Do you have preference on watching woodworking videos? Do you like solid wood or plywood? Do you like hand tools or power tools?
