Hello hand plane enthusiasts! I hope everyone is well and enjoying some sort of woodworking activity that involves using at least one or two planes. I very recently completed a small wall hung cabinet that has a door and two drawer fronts made from one panel that consists of several (18) strips of 1/4” thick, varying types of wood. The strips are different heights, and faced glued together, showing the long edge of each strip of wood. Consequently, when faced glued, the difference between the heights of each strip created valleys, and of course some glue squeeze out. As hard as I try to use just the right amount of glue, I almost always get some squeeze out.
Well, in this particular instance, I used a Stanley #238 outfitted with 1/4” wide cutter to clean the excess glue out of each valley. Worked like a charm.
