This is amazing. Wait until you get to the 12" (+/-) wide plane ribbons!

I long for the days when Coke was a soft drink, and Black and Decker was a quality tool.

That is some incredible planing. None of my tools are near that sharp. I would like to get a lesson in sharpening from those guys.

Simply amazing!

By far my best plane is a Kanna I got from Harrelson Stanley at one of the WIA gigs, think it was Berea. He had a tradition Japanese framer with him at the time, he was from Massachusetts, his first name was Jim, but I am failing his last name right now. He adjusted my Kanna to make ribbons that looked much like those in the video. Since I have sharpened it a few times, and I will never get that level of adjustment back
 But even with my poor technique, it's still a really thin slicing plane.I truly believe the Kanna can make the thinnest shavings, but Western planes are by far the easier to adjust. Wilbur may disagree with me, but he gets a lot more practice than I do 
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya
