OTOH It's just swapping out the nicotine delivery system, its not a quitting tool IMO.

Pardon the shitty cell phone pic, but here's my Christmas present to myself:

^what is that?…

[Clint_D]

It's a planer for woodworking. It's used to create boards that are of an even thickness throughout their length and flat on both surfaces as per Wikipedia. I'm attempting to remodel a 1930s home in Austin and so far I've reclaimed a good amount of wood off of the walls and floor to be re-used. Before I can re-use it, I'll be running it through my new toy to resurface all of the wood. It's a learning process but the finished product should be well worth it!

[Finn666]

thanks for explaining mate! sounds like a hell lotta work to me. good luck with that and much fun with your new toy mate

If you took wood class in high school, you should know what a wood planer is, Rafa…..

I was explicitely forbidden to use any tools in school due to being the clumsiest person alive (and the fact that I haven't strangled myself with a microwave's cord by accident is quite a miracle)…

All I was allowed to use was the loo...

there is no such thing as "wood class" in germany buddy…at least not at the schools i know and went to!

I thought it was a device to make French fries with… Chuck in some taters and ZAP: French fries come out...

I'm still convinced there's a "French fries" setting...

[MikeC]

I figured you didn't have wood class in Germany. I grew up in the country. We have wood and metal classes.

[Seul]

I used to listen to metal in class. Does that count?..

[Snowy]

Down here we take both woodwork and sewing/cooking classes (alternating each term). The things you learn…

If that were the case, I would have to sell all my IH gear because none of it would fit.

Clint, wouldnt that be a thicknesser?

[Clint_D]

Yes, I read that it's referred to as a thicknesser in Australia and the UK.  We just call it a planer in the states.

Favorite bit from "Shawp," as we call it in the great state of Oklahoma:

Other favorite bit of school: egg drop and Popsicle stick bridges
