In Response To: Tools: power planes (David Humphries)

I used power planes a lot when doing trimwork, staircases, and hanging doors, but it is NOT something I would consider using in my boat building except in RARE cases. You just don't have the touch, or feel, that you'll need when fairing and shaping the hull and other acoutrements.
