I have picked up a few and did some reading on them and suddenly decided that I will invest a lot of time (and money relatively) to their use. I am surprised by what one can do with a well sharpened plane and special purpose planes. Lets see what happens

The fuselage and wings are cut out of stiff paper, shaped, and glued. The fuselage is a number of layers laminated. The way the wings are designed they act as natural air foils. Then I realized that your wood planes were not meant to fly. At least, not very well. Last night I bought a sander for my daughter's birthday. It is a flat sander, not an orbital one. I have an orbital sander, but I have never used it. I like the flat sander, but it takes forever to take down oak. I build oak arm rests for painters, and they require a lot of sanding. The guy at the hardware store said I should try the orbital sander, that it works great for my application, and that the flat sander is more for ultra fine varnish, rather than wood. It is for polishing instead of sanding. Guess I'll have to try it. My favorite tool is still the wood rasp.

Actually I read a for articles on proper sharpening, adjusting and how to use one properly and gave it a try. My surface came out like glass! Can not wait until I get the whole technique done. And it is very simple once you know what they are about.
