Wooden laminations
About five years ago I cut and planed Douglas Fir planks for the
landing gear of my Fly Baby, but we moved before I got them glued up. I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. Should I re-plane them to get a fresh-cut surface before I glue them?

Use a cabinet scraper; they are a flexible sheet of metal, to renew the surface. It will not take much off the thickness, that way. Whatever you do, don't sand them. That greatly reduces the ability of glues to penetrate the grains to make a strong bond. -- Jim in NC
