Oh man, I borrowed an old (50's) Craftsman hand plane from a friend for a project I was working on. It was so amazing. Solid construction and it made the most beautiful ribbons. I could shave for six feet and get a continuous ribbon. No jittering. In comparison, the plane I bought new for the project from a local hardware store barely even worked. It jittered like crazy and the shavings were all broken and rough. I'd love to do woodworking, but I don't have the place for the equipment. I can barely fit the DeWalt 12" compound miter saw as it is. -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:141917 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
