See how to make and use a Planer Sled to make custom mouldings when I create a Dressing Mirror frame out of quartersawn oak for a client. A thickness planer produces a glass-smooth finish that requires minimal sanding so quick, classy wood trim and mouldings can be made inexpensively in a practical amount of time compared to other methods.
