Straightening Out My Wood...?
My current handyman tools stop at a Black and Decker Matrix drill, with interchangeable "chucks": got the drill, mouse sander, and reciprocating saw attachments. Other cutting tools include a scroll saw two years younger than I, a saw w/mitter box I picked up from the hardware store, and a small hand jigsaw. We don't deal in stone here, so the few chisels don't count.
Anyway. I can cut wood up for various projects, but the resulting item lacks a certain straight line/edge that SR shaving helps to satisfy.
Directly to the point: Any suggestions on a planer? Where should I look for what? This is probably the least expensive route for me to achieve this. No, I don't have experience with traditional hand woodworking tools. But a planer should be a cakewalk compared to SR shaving .
My sweet spot is "as cheap as possible for usable quality". My budget is $30, for the simple fact the I can get either the circular saw attachment for my drill, or a cheap but brand new actual circular saw for $40, build a track for said circular saw, thus solving many of my wavy wood issues.
Thanks in advance for the help!Decades away from full-beard growing abilities.
