    Hehe, i do somewhat se connection between the words. :D

    Thats the right age to get involved. Thinking of going to your local wooworkers shop and get an education? Youll never regret it :rock:

    8. I know its barely visible, but top middle shows a small planer ( Only pic. i got of it atm ). whats the name of this type?
    Directly translated from Danish its a "Block planer".

    9. And whats the name of this type of planer ? Translating it from Danish wont make any sense at all. Would be something like roughhits. Whats the professionel name of this type of planer ?

    Thanks in advance :)

    8. is a block planer.....the direct translation is correct

    9. is a hand planer and the translation isn't that far off, some people call them rough planers or 'rough hand planers' because with the adjustable blade you can take off a lot of wood.

    Thanks a lot. :clap:
    Nice to se that some translations arent that far of. :)
    Yeah, the rough planer can take a lot of wood. Mostly its used for planing bigger surfaces to be 100% straight ( if thats the right way to describe it ? ).

    100% straight = true or flat

    All I can say, that would improve this thread for me, is can you post the untranslated names of these tools? It would be even better if you could toss in a phonetic for each so those of us that don't speak danish could see and try to pronounce them as you know them.

    as a side note, your english is Much better than my french/spanish/italian......and I don't even know any danish

    Indeed :)

    Im gonna do a phonetic for you in one of the next couple of days.
    :idea:
    Ive been thinking about making this thread into a picture dictionary for foreigners as well as english talking populations. Putting all tools alphabetically in order in the top post.
    Since there already is a thread somewhat like this, i didnt.
    http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=167012
    This however seems to have died :( . Good idea though .
    Azayles gave me this idea.
    http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=2203256&postcount=47
    However, since this is samewhat diffrent if the average user cant find the name anywhere else, having people posting pictures to get response on what the tool they have at hand is called in english, for writing a better project log for example, im really beginning to think about spending some hours weekly on doing this.
    Offcourse rules will have to be made.
    I havent thought it all through. Also working some 8-12 hours daily and having my whole mediacenter build plus my social life irl to take care of, its still just a consideration. :)
    What do you all think. Would this be helpful to anyone?
    Its time to pursue me to get involved in this also .

    I was always under the impression that the large planer was referred to as a "jointer plane".
    This was used to get the edges of boards flat and square for joining together to make, say a
    table top, before the large jointing machines became available. Also some people like to use
    hand tools for every task and would use a jointer plane exclusively. ;)

    Edit: Text didnt show up :worried:

    Coming to Denmark starting to say the names of the tools, chances are no one will know wth youre talking bout :D

    Mmmm, sounds correct.

    Heh, im one of them. Doing everything by hand makes my adrenaline boil. So much can go wrong. But if one behaves and works with the material always concentrating on the task. The final result will show :)

    Hehe, youre not concentrated enough :D


    Havent forgot about you. I will find Phonetics for them somwhere to post for you :)

    9. It does have a long sole plate. So you are probably correct.

    I know there are several types of them. In Danish they are all named the same.
