After forty years I've gone back to working with planes for thicknessing tops. Two reasons really, one, having to do it at the Romanillos course made me realize how effective it is, and two, having recently acquired a stock of aged European spruce which requires lots of special handling. Also a plane cut gives me a far better sense of the wood than a sanded finish.
I will probably drift back into more and more use of the sander eventually, but the planes have given me just one more weapon in the arsenal.
As for Global warming........here is all I have to say on that subject...

Im sorry if I took that the wrong way - but somehow, sometimes, I just find the laughing emoticons are seemingly quite antagonistic, when one is a bit defensive ... as I suppose I was,,,
I guess they could be misconstrued as easily as reading statements and not being able to hear the inflection of the individual speaking,,,

Where Im currently living (where, while greats things abound at the grassroots level) there are also people who could give 2 craps less than anything to do with personal responsibility... in terms of co-existance with other living creatures and things... and our collective future,,,
and I have found myself often trying to defend something that (in my mind anyhow) really needs no defence..

Your very correct about needing multiple viewpoints of our predicament ,,,consideration towards all who are affected in each way....and the need to assess the problems we now face collectively and co-operatively from as many angles as possible....
Some need to realize this much faster than others..
My apologies for coming off like a jerk if I did!
Cheers
Charlie
