Rabbet clean-up

I just cut a few rabbets in some Jatoba for a box I'm building. It's the
pet urn from the recent Canadian Woodworking Magazine. I don't own a
shoulder plane so I logged on to the Lee Valley site to buy one and they are
out-of-stock until the end of April. Anyone have any suggestions on other
good ways to clean up the saw marks without damaging the nice lines of my
box? I suppose I could use sandpaper but I'm concerned with keeping
everything straight. Thanks in advance.

Ed

Thanks, everybody, for your input. I ended up using a combination of
sanding and scraping and it seems to have come out ok, although a SHOULDER
PLANE would have been nicer. Get that Rob,.... SHOULDER PLANE? Anyway,
I'll post some pics on ABPW when I get the finishing complete.

Use a correspondingly long sanding block with the sandpaper? Sorry about your

Or you could get the Veritas shoulder plane for considerably
less than the LN. It's an innovatively improved shoulder
plane that works really nicely and is easy on the hand.

Damn, I coulda beat you for uptime 'cept last week I gave my 286 chassis
with an AT-2 MB and Pentium MMX 233 the Fonzi treatment to stop it's CPU
cooling fan CPU squealing (about 4 times) and the damn thing froze up.

Use a single-edge razor blade as you would a scraper and clean the edge up
with that. Or if you want more aggressive action, use a chisel, held nearly
vertical and pulled along the rabbet to clean up the saw marks.

Scraper? Not that difficult to make a small profile scraper from a used
hacksaw blade or utility knife blade. With a little practice, a light
touch, and not much pressure you can get a glass-smooth finish.

good luck

Your problem is your blades aren't sharp enough. You didn't spend
enough time lapin them.

I'm glad I didn't have my long-handled crowbar out this
morning.

Speaking of which, could you resend that email acknowledging
the order? I had a computer crash (NT blue screen) right
after it came so I lost it. Merci!

OK, Rob, since you're offering. Any centralized city in NB would be just
fine, but Miramichi would be my first choice for your next store. You
really should have one in this province since the Canadian rep for L-N lives
in NB as well.
