Jacob - i'm not sure about coma induced winding sticks, but I definitly felt on the way to the state after about 5 hours of planing! Perils of handwork!

Great find, that really made me giggle. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Great!

But why hazards? It rather looks like the joiner has been fallen asleep, look at the eye, it is closed :lol: ...I always will remember, when as a child I took by surprise my mom's uncle standing near the kitchen table, the head over a book , a knife in the palm... and sleeping.

Put wedges or shims under the high sections and then plane one face flat as a reference face.
 
Hi Tony - I've been doing that (the shimming) i'm making some progress, but I think the real crux of the problem is that i'm simply not taking enough wood off to remove the really high parts of the twist this is because the timber I bought was PAR and almost to my finished dimensions so i'm reluctant to take too much off.

I think i'm just going to have to live with the most difficult pieces, i'll see how bad they are when I come to the dry-fit.

Thanks to everyone for the hints and tips, as usual it's all helped!
 
I love the winding stick cartoon, but at the risk of seeming pedantic..........Surely not.......

The drawing is misleading.

In order for the best eye to focus on both sticks at once, it is good to sight from a position which is several times the the distance apart of the sticks.

i.e. if sticks are 2 feet apart try to get 6 feet away.

Wasn't actually a cartoon. Is an illustration from vol 1 of "Joinery & Carpentry" by Corkhill, Lowsely et al.
Excellent set of books with masses of info and good illustrations, at all levels.

cheers
