Now that's a thin shaving
Not sure if this has been posted previously. A competition to see who can get the finest shaving from a plane. I've got no idea how you'd sharpen a blade to achieve what these guys can do.

Ummmm.... How to go jointing with a breadboard. I would be interested to see the water stone on which they sharpen the blade.
Could this herald the demise of the paper industry? I mean, why chop it up first and then put it back together if you can start of with a sheet straight up
?
Overall, as Brett said, "Awesome."

I days of yore it was a thing in woodwork shops to do 'Plane racing'. When a particularly wild grained board of wood was available, they'd all sharpen and set-up their wooden planes and see who could take the longest thinnest shaving off.
But I doubt any of them had ever seen a plane that wide - Just the idea of sharpening it dead square bewilders me!Dragonfly

Wow! I guess we can all start refering to slabs of lumber as pads of paper now.
