Tom, There's a difference between doable and being practical . That's why I use a handplane and not a chisel if I want to flatten a board. Or, use a drill press to do some turning in an emergen...

Some of you but not AHill have missed my point. What is un believable is not the use of a plane upside down to shave. I have done that many times. What shocked me is that a magazine would pay $100(?) ...
