English term or phrase: hand planing
¿Que significa hand planing en español en este contecto?

There was a time when I was convinced my jointer was possessed. It would thwart my every effort to make a crooked edge straight. Sort-of-straight edges became more humped, and wide boards became ever narrower at one end. Like many woodworkers, I found myself talking to my jointer, pleading for cooperation. My early efforts at handplaning edge-joints didn't go much better. When I would get an edge close to straight, it might not be square.
