The planes in progress that Don is working on to be able to plane
curved stair rails are an absolute marvel.  Talk about using all the
math you learned in years and years of school.  The planes have to
have different curved fences for doing the inside or outside of the
rail along with being curved in the correct way to match the curvature
of the stair rail as it goes in its downward spiral.  It really does
boggle the mind.

Welcome back Don.
