Surfin' OWWM; reading and learning. I was a tad surprised to see "planers" and "jointers" from the turn of the century. Like so many "kidz these dayz" - I thought our generation had invented most of this stuff.
Got me to wondering - what are the more recent power tools invented/introduced? The Biscuit/Plate joiner is pretty new, right?
Bandsaw, table saw - nope. Sanders (drum to spindle) - nope.
A certain amount of enjoyment in 'dorking for me is around the history involved. Even for us Normite's.
