STARTING AND BUYING HAND TOOL GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS
MUST HAVE TOOL 1 - HAND PLANES
SPOKESHAVE
A spokeshave is a tool used to shape and smooth wooden rods and shafts - often for use as wheel spokes, chair legs self bows, and arrows. It can also be used to carve canoe paddles.
SHOULDER PLANE
The shoulder plane is a plane tool with a blade flush with the edges of the plane, allowing trimming right up to the edge of a workpiece. Like a rebate plane, the shoulder plane's blade extends, therefore cuts, to the full width of the tool. The shoulder plane is used to trim the shoulders and faces of tenons. It
is used when it is necessary to trim right into the concave corner where two surfaces of the same piece of wood meet perpendicularly. It is also commonly used to clean up dadoes (housings) and tenons for joinery.
In woodworking, a moulding plane (molding plane in US spelling) is a specialised plane used for mouldings.
making the complex shapes found in wooden
Traditionally, moulding planes were blocks of wear resistant hardwood, often Beech or Maple, which were worked to the shape of the intended moulding. The blade, or iron was likewise formed to the intended moulding profile and secured in the body of the plane with a wooden wedge. A traditional cabinetmakers shop might have many, perhaps hundreds, of moulding planes for the full range of work to be performed. The late nineteenth century brought modern types which were all metal affairs such as the American Stanley No. 55 Universal Plane and the English Record No. 405 Multi-Plane with a wide variety of interchangeable cutters, integral fences, and "knickers", small cutting edges which score the grain fibers when working
across the board.
REBATE PLANE
The rebate plane (also known as the rabbet plane) is a hand plane designed for cutting rabbets in wood. It's a simple tool, used in many Western countries, with hundreds of years of history. It was in use
in England at least as early as the 11th century.
A router plane is a plane used for smoothing out sunken panels, and more generally for all
depressions below the general surface of the pattern.

Like a rebate plane, the shoulder plane's blade extends, therefore cuts, to the full width of the tool. The shoulder plane is used to trim the shoulders and faces of tenons. It
Unlike the rebate plane, the shoulder plane is intended to cut end grain. There are therefore differences between it and a rebate plane in the angles at which the iron (blade) is set.

The rebate plane is one of a group of planes including the shoulder plane, bullnose plane and carriage makers plane in which the blade protrudes by a very small amount - usually less than half a millimetre - from the sides of the plane body on both sides. The blade is very slightly wider than the body of the plane. The reason for the slight protrusion of the blade is so that the plane body does not bind on the side of the cut, which would result in the side wall of the rebate not being perpendicular to the bottom
ROUTER PLANE
A router plane is a plane used for smoothing out sunken panels, and more generally for all
It planes the bottoms of recesses to a uniform depth and can work into corners that could be reached only by the use of a chisel.
Nowodays, it is often replaced by the electrical router but continues to be preferred in special cases.
USE
Planing wood along its side grain should result in thin shavings rising above the surface of the wood as the edge of the plane iron is pushed forward, leaving a smooth surface, but sometimes splintering occurs. This is largely a matter of cutting with the grain or against the grainrespectively, referring to the side grain of the piece of wood being worked.
The grain direction can be determined by looking at the edge or side of the work piece. Wood fibers can be seen running out to the surface that is being planed. When the fibers meet the work surface it looks like the point of an arrow that indicates the direction. With some very figured and difficult woods, the grain runs in many directions and therefore working against the grain is inevitable. In this case, a very sharp and finely-set blade is required.
When planing against the grain, the wood fibers are lifted by the plane iron, resulting in a jagged finish, called tearout. Planing against the grain in this manner is sometimes called "traverse" or "transverse" planing.
Planing the end grain of the board involves different techniques, and frequently different planes designed for working end grain. Planes with the iron bedded at a "low angle," typically about 12 degrees, are often used for planing end grain
there are some other types but you will learn about them trough blog but they are just optional-
