: Dude- Hours? It took me no more than 90 minutes to rip and
: thickness plane all of my strips without a helper...

OK, OK... maybe I exaggerated. ;)

My planer's highest feed speed is 20 fpm. An "average" stripper like a Guillemot uses about 1000 LF of 3/4" wide strips. If your planing them one at a time (I wouldn't but say you did) that's 50 minutes of your life (and electricity) being wasted for no reason.

You shouldn't have to plane your strips.

Done my rant...
