thought to be fluff. Boy, was I wrong. I've been doing my post
Christmas kiss my wifes' butt because she puts up with mine woodworking
and, in the past 24 hours, have used it 5 times. "Damn... that rabbet
isn't quite wide enough..." thinks deeply..." Hey I'll widen it with my
new shoulder plane". Thing works stinken great.
