Your absolutely right I've been spending way too much time at my computer desk lately! I gotta get those hands dirty again, I'll work on it tomorrow.
Wife says I woke up one morning half asleep uttering thin kerf and high production, I think I need a hobby other than milling?

How wide and how long was the strip?  The original challenge was 6" wide by 8' long.

  No! not with the Wiggins again.  But the Sawmill Shootout.  It seems while reading a TFG article that in Japan they have a compitention to see who can shave the thinest shaving with a plane.  I think it would prove who could cut the most accurate lumber if they could make a shaving say 6" wide and 8' long as thin as possible.  I have made some as thin as a 1/16 but I think with a good adjustment and blade could do better.  Swingers would have to put up or shut up about accurate lumber. ???
   What do you guys and gals think about going thin for bragging rights?  It would be a real test as to how good one could slice.

Wow - .8mm converts to .031 of an inch - very impressive!

Now Jake, will that 10 WPF that y'all made for me do as well???  <grin>
