Wife decided to pick me out a nice toy since I did such a good job on the
kitchen this past summer. I've looked at it for over a year and can see some
use for it.... But it really seems to be shunned by the woodies! How come?

When people look at some item I've made and ask, "How'd you do that?",
I sometimes tell them I have a computerized woodworking machine in my
shop. I tell them I just throw a stick of firewood in one end and it
comes out the other end as whatever I want it to be. I think most of
us see computerized woodworking tools as just a little too close to my
imaginary machine. Sure, it will make neat things, but it's just not
woodworking to me. Buy yourself a good hand plane and learn to use
it. Then you'll understand. Or not.
