When is fine too fine?
Okay it's Monday and I've been up too long already. However, the Veritas advert quoted in Must Have is surely worth a few arguments. In part it says:
"In recent years, consumer focus on plane performance has changed, and not necessarily in a good way. All over the globe, woodworkers have become enchanted with just how thin a shaving they can produce while planing, not realizing how inefficient this has made woodworking. In fact, there is now less fine furniture being made than there was just a few short years ago. No wonder – it can take up to ten times longer to bring a surface to final dimension, when taking as little as a tenth of a thou per pass"
How many are enchanted by translucent shavings at the expense of the end result? Is hand planing more inefficient in time than it used to be before the new models of plane came out? Should people be allowed to start threads on a Monday?
cheers,
Jim
ps After much temporal advice I now realise it was April Fool's day in the states

Did you see how they made that?
"Slump formed with geothermal steam" - I vote that we ask the moderators for a new section on here for all the geothermal steam slump forming afficionados !
I wonder who will be the first to make a pen using this technique
Cheers,

Almost as bad as that cloud of apathy heading for Australia that Mike Willesee had every body in a panic some years ago.
