Planing End Grain with a Block Plane

Hi, this is Jon on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip we'll planing end grain. Now if you have a project or component of your project where you have end grain that needs to be plane on the block plane is probably the best tool to use for this. Now if I were just to come in here with my block plane and just start planing I would blow out this end of my project and it would just chip off and splinter and it would look real bad. What we're going to do is we're going to use our block plane and we're going to plane this way about to where we reach half way point and then we're going to come around the other side and plane the other way. This is going to ensure that we don't blow out the end of our project. Now planing end grains can be a bit more time consuming and a bit more aggravating but if you take your time you will get a real nice end result.
