Figuring out how to level out the end grain on the bench top sides is…not fun.

I made cuts with a circular saw from the top and bottom and used a handsaw to cut out the middle.

I’m taking suggestions for good ways to deal with it. So far my hand planes are slow going. Sanding would take forever. Resaw? Chisel? Fire?

Rajiv,

@karlnelson suggestions of rasp or belt sander are what I would go with. Unless you happen to have low angle plane.

@Rajiv I’m trying both my block plane (awfully small) and jack plane on their sides, like a poor man’s shooting plane. Kinda sorta works. 🤣

Rajiv,

@karlnelson What I have done is for my #4, I have three blades that are sharpened at different angles. lower angle helps with endgrain. but amount of clean up you have to do, belt sander is going to take you there faster & then you can take care of high spots with plane.

@Rajiv different angles is a good idea.
