Plane crazy

It occurred to me on waking up this morning that it's over thirty tears since I last used a box plane. I've spent the rest of the day wondering why I'm upset about it.

  2. That is a sensible question. Here's one.

    I thought you'd trimmed it into a heart and died it green again?

    Good grief - you mean you used one *after* you stopped woodwork classes in the 70s?
