Top Joints

[Rollie]

What is the most prefered block plane to use when joining tops ? Can you suggest any good methods to get a true gluing surface ? Thanks .......... MERRY CHRISTMAS ..........

Look up "Shooting Boards" for luthiers on youtube. I watched Todd Stock use this method quite effectively with a sharp plane.
I use a Rigid Joiner, if I didn't have it this is how I would go.
Merry Christmas
