Unboxing the Makita KP312 Power Planer: A New Year’s Game-Changer!

Happy New Year from Shady Acres! 🎉 In this special New Year's Eve video, we’re unboxing and testing a powerhouse of a tool for the timber frame woodshop build: the Makita KP312 Power Planer! With an impressive 12 1/4 inches of beam planing capacity, this tool is a critical addition to our timber framing arsenal as we gear up to mill and shape timbers for the dream woodshop.

I’ll walk you through the unboxing, first impressions, and put this planer to the test on real wood. Plus, I reveal how I snagged this premium tool at an unbeatable deal, making it an even sweeter start to the new year.

If you're into woodworking, timber framing, or love seeing top-notch tools in action, this video is for you. Stay tuned for more progress updates as we tackle exciting new projects in 2025!

I am a Maker and encouraging others to participate in the Maker movement. I have coined the term "Creative Brain" which is how I describe myself. A creative brain is someone who's mind is always consumed in the creative process of coming up with new ideas, solutions to problems, and draws a pure sense of life enjoyment from the satisfaction of producing something that may not always be useful.

I am the 1 and only Chad Ryg. There have been thousands of social media and dating profile accounts made using my pictures and pieces of my narrative in the military and using my children to perpetuate standard Nigerian Romance scams.
Please don't contact me if you think we have a relationship or to inform me that someone has "stolen" my identity. I don't have time to have this discussion with someone new every other day as is the case.
