Planing wood isn't rocket science (or is it?)

You have to admire his determination..

[Jack]

Neat, but I'll use my Grizz 15" spiral head, segmented blade planer and leave the Rocket Science to the Chinese...

[Leon]

Is that the one you have been using for S I X T Y years? ;~)

[Jack]

Most of my stationary tools are over S I X T Y years old, but I've only owned them for around F O R T Y T W O years. The planer is new, only about T E N years old.

You're confusing running gas powered equipment for S I X T Y years with woodworking equipment... A p p l e s...O R A N G E S

[Leon]

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

[Electric Comet]

folly maybe but then again maybe you are trying to invent a new word

folie a full lie contraction

also i think all the cool kids say rocket surgery now

what planing wood is to me

very very loud

[Jack]

Two common reasons for that:

1. You are not using a hand plane - cool
2. You're planer does not have a spiral, segmented cutter head. - not cool

[Electric Comet]

or using a hand plane very very incorrectly

correct it is a brute force straight edge and it is mounted perpindicular

if only it was canted at an ever so slight angle it would make a lot of difference
