Modern machinery and trimmers have greatly lessened thevalue of the block-plane. Many prefer the smoothing-plane. To plane across endgrain, work from bothedges (Fig. 121), to pre-vent either edge chippingoff. Press down on the r- ,0 front of the plane and fig. 108 -^ stop planing before reach-ing the further edge. Then re-verse and plane from the otheredge in the same way. Some-times a piece of waste wood canbe put at one edge to preventchipping (Fig. 122), or one edgecan first be cut off as in Fig. 123. The ends of many pieces can be planed on the bench-hook, jack-board, or shooting-board. (See page 8^.) Hold the piece firmlyagainst the stop or cross-piece of the bench-hook, with the end
