I have a little pocket plane and will be using that after seeing how hard it isto control a router cut. Were you referring to the raspy looking fella (SurformPlane - Regular) as well? You're right. It's cheap. Also, on the topic of stabilizer construction, I am worried that if I put the stringersin on one side (to guarantee that it stays good'n flat) the slight bendat the LE will cause a warp and when I flip it, and the aggregate pull by allof those (8 on one side) stringers will be difficult to combat. But if I gluethem in as a top and bottom pair out of the jig, I won't be able to guaranteethe flatness. Ideas? Am I being a worrywort again? It is perfectly trueout of the jig so it might not be an issue to go with the second idea.
