Early spring planer boards are the way to fish. I found a couple designs on the web for planer boards. They are all basically the same, this is no different, I just made the prints clearer and better material utilization. I am working on a folding design. I suspect that the miter is not required but have not been able to test that yet. <p>I can tell you these pull heroically in Lake Michigan when we are fishing for salmon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27318488-114641003491819844?l=planerboard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rhyme_vigilantenoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27318488.post-1146409718428339472006-04-30T08:06:00.000-07:002006-04-30T08:08:38.430-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/1600/planer%20board%20order.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/400/planer%20board%20order.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Most of this stuff is available locally, but I think you'll save time and money ordering from McMaster.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27318488-114640971842833947?l=planerboard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rhyme_vigilantenoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27318488.post-1146409540312299262006-04-30T07:57:00.000-07:002006-04-30T08:05:40.313-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/1600/planer%20board%20print.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/400/planer%20board%20print.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I found cedar to be inexpensive, durable and very light. I have yet to find a home improvement place that doesn't carry it. Pine will work fine also, it just won't float as high.<p>Don't get too hung up on making the angles perfect. I made a custom jig to use with my table saw because I wanted them to look nice. A bandsaw, reciprocating or even hand saw would work fine. If you are brave, cut the angle and the bevel at one time. Clean up all with sand paper. A handheld belt sander works nice.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27318488-114640954031229926?l=planerboard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rhyme_vigilantenoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27318488.post-1146409046993058512006-04-30T07:53:00.000-07:002006-04-30T07:57:26.993-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/1600/planer%20board%20print%202.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/400/planer%20board%20print%202.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Drill the holes with a drill press if you can, it will keep the boards lined up better. I used the aerosol KILZ to prime min. Rustoleum makes a dayglo orange designed for marking surveying stakes.

Make sure you knock any sharp edges off the threaded rod so you don't get hurt or wreck your interior. I used some thread locker on the nuts, silicone works well too.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27318488-114640863019292040?l=planerboard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rhyme_vigilantenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27318488.post-1146408486074850542006-04-30T07:44:00.000-07:002006-05-18T06:30:24.596-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/1600/planer%20board%20print%204.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4453/1024/400/planer%20board%20print%204.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Flag it if you wish. To make the boards collapsible, use the optional wing nuts on the outside so you can easily disassemble.
