Ok. The low beam-like bench experiment is done. I used two chairs (18
inches high). I suppose these are analagous to trestles. Then I put a
1 inch thick board across them - the beam. The total height was about
19 inches. I then C-clamped a board to be planed to the board and went
to planing....seemed perfect to me. Am I wierd? (A rhetorical question
not a solicitation for additional postings.)
