planing question

...let us pros do the woodworking.

I do hope that was said in good humor. Even the most learned among us were clueless once.

I'm sure your neighbor appreciates the good deed, Chuck.

With all good wishes,

I was not at all hesitant to reveal to my neighbor that I had just learned about the hazards and risks of trying to plane, or joint painted/varnished/finishes from wood in the past few days. I had been as uninformed about this hazard as he, until this thread in the Forum. Thanks, folks!!!!:D

BTW: My buddy had also put a great big long gough into the bed of this planer. He used his automotive finishing skills to remove the goughs and polish the bed. After a waxing, it worked very well.

Yes, He vociferously appreciated not only my help, but also the help learned here in the Forum! He is really quite a skilled carpenter/builder, by profession and home practice - he is just finishing up building a new garage/workshop and remodel of the outside of his home. As he says, he has never done any fine woodworking, and is looking forward to making some furniture.

Did you not see the big grin? Of course it was said in jest! :p
