A method and apparatus for edging boards using an exemplary edge plane is shown and described herein. The method and apparatus for edging boards uses a cutting edge on the blade and an adjusting mechanism engageably coupled thereto. The method for edging boards using an edge plane apparatus adjusts the height or depth of the cutting edge to make a cut in the on the corner of a board or other such material.

A woodworking plane stand, the woodworking plane stand comprising: a back member; a left leg removeably attachable to the back member via a sliding dovetail joint; a right leg removably attachable to the back member via a sliding dovetail joint; the left leg comprising a left first step and an angled stop member located on a distal end of the left first step, the angled stop member making an acute angle with the inner side of the left leg; the right leg comprising a right first step and an angled stop member located on a distal end of the right first step, the angled stop member making an acute angle with the inner side of the right leg; the left first step and right first step configured to be at the same height when the left leg and right leg are attached to the back member; the left first step and right first step configured to support and display a woodworking plane, and the angle stop members configured to prevent the woodworking plane from sliding off the distal end of the left first step and right first step.

The present invention relates to a shooting board jig device. The device is comprised of a body having a base plate and a guide fence. The guide fence can be repositioned at a plurality of angles within a 360-degree range of movement atop the base plate and secured in said position via a pin. A hand planer known in the art can further be positioned along any side of the base plate. The generally L-shaped guide fence can then receive a board. The board is then placed towards the hand planer at the selected angle, such that the planar can be used to plane the edge or the end of the board. In this manner, the device allows a user to plane a board at a plurality of desired angles.

A setting key for attaching a plane iron to a tapering plane at a specific desired tapering angle, the setting key comprising: a first edge shaped to fit into a setting key function slot with an opening along a circumference of a mortise of the tapering plane; and a second edge positioned opposite to the first edge, wherein when the setting key is inserted into the setting key function slot: the first edge is nested in the setting key function slot, and the second edge protrudes into and radially bisects the mortise of the tapering plane, such that the second edge provides a surface spaced from the mortise edge and positioned at an orientation that differs from a mortise longitudinal axis by the specific desired tapering angle to hold the plane iron so that it is configured to be attached to the tapering plane at the specific desired tapering angle.

A hand tool of the present invention enables the planing of stock wood to thickness that is accurate and repeatable without the need for continuous measurement or great skill. The hand tool can be used on stock that is wider than the plane body, can be adjusted in depth by the user, and is of suitable construction and weight for a hand tool.
