Cuts like butter

Cut out 4 frames with the new jig saw today, as well as the jig saw itself being a huge improvement, I have been getting better at the technique of using it, and also started to clamp guides where applicable to get nice straight edges.

I also got new blades for my newly acquired second hand plane. I found a YouTube widow that shows how to flatten a board using an electric plane. So today I practised that, while the result wasn't perfect, it was pretty close and quite easy. A bit more practice and I think I'll be sorted which will mean I don't need a jointer. Here is a link to the YouTube clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK0DB63Tg3U&feature=youtube_gdata_player and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwaZlapWMls&feature=youtube_gdata_player
