I don't plan on working with any slabs, Chad, but I'm always interesting to see what anyone else has to say about any phase of woodworking and store the info away in my mind. Thanks. Stay safe. Bill

While I’m not planning on working on slabs - my wife doesn’t like slab furniture - I enjoyed your video Chad. It was very well done. Your practice of recommending books at the end is excellent. A couple of those I don’t currently have and may add to my library. I do have your book and it’s excellent. Hope all is well and keep dancing.

Don my friend. Yes I understand. Slab furniture is just a trend and I believe soon it will fade away. I currently feel it's on the way out. But I still think it look cool

Chad Stanton I agree that it looks cool but to my wife it looks like furniture that was popular in the 1970s back when we got married and she didn’t like it then either. The table you made is far better than most. She might even like it. I’ve got too many things I’d like to make so I’m OK with not using slabs in my builds.

The bit you bought is one that I too bought a Woodcraft about a year ago. Used it for the same kind of thing..... It was sold as a flattening bit for a cnc. I don't have a cnc, but if you had a big enough cnc you could just set it up and let the cnc go for a couple hours while you did something else way more fun... Like cutting dovetails or dancing. As you progress down the CNC path I am curious to see your future thoughts.

Great video Chad,I have used the router method for surfacing work benches and it does leave a rough surface but I like it because it helps hold the wood in place. For table tops with difficult grain I do like the toothed blade in bevel up jack plane to help smooth the surface followed by a Stanley 80 scraper plane .because on a table top my hands cramp when using card scrapers.

Oh yes, The Stanley 80. Great tool. I have a similar one by a different company

I agree 100% with your synopsis. I love my electric plane, but even using a couple of hand planes is better than a router. And good exercise too. lol And those flattening bits are expensive.

Hi Chad, have done a few large and long natural edge slabs similar to your approach everything you noted is right on to the point that I'm looking at the Slab Flattening Mill Pro from Woodpeckers but oh my gosh the cost of it which I'd never recoup, one of the many reasons I like following you.

Thank you, Michael. I don't try to go with the latest and greatest tools out there. I truly believe that even old tools can do a great job. I won't use any tool that I don't truly believe in.

Each to their own Chad. I do a lot of slabs and use the Router, rails and carriage. Yes it's a lot of noise and dust but I wear the PPE. I also have a 3 horse router just for the flattening. so in reasonable time.

Great vid Chad. First I am new to wood working, second, have never worked with slabs, third, trying to master hand planing with limited planes. So totally new! But just a thought, is there anyway you could use an electric plane with the same type (maybe some variation) of jig for the electric hand plane? I know there would be possible wood grain direction issues, but depending on the electric hand plane blade width, it could be more efficient than the 2" router bit? and get decent results? I have seen using traditional hand planes that they can use them angled across the slab. maybe that would avoid the grain direction issue and tear out issue

When I use my electric hand plane I typically go across the grain at a 30-45 degree angle. Yes there is still clean up I do afterward with a hand plane and card scraper but I have found (in my case) it's much faster than a router. Oh BTW my mentor Dennis Laney and I will be doing a video in the near future about tuning up a used than plane YOu might really enjoy that.

Why not build a Carriage to slide between the 2 guide rails but have it stable to them and just slide the router back and forth along it. If you did that you could make a dust collection set up with a shield and hose from the shop vac.

It would seem to me to take an awfully long timeI think I prefer planes I think Chad is 100% on using a plane instead of the SCREAMING router sledBTW I mean handplanes scrub and Jack . Not electric.
You would have better luck if you shortened your router mount and made the router slide inside of it...

I don't doubt your suggestion, I'm just having trouble envisioning your method. When you say "better luck" do you mean the results? Because it was flat, it just was too slow for me.
