Wait a minute, Kirk.  Are training the elder GIT to use a scrub plane on the
EDGE of a board?  This is clearly the wrong tool for th job and you need to
get a #8 for this purpose.  Actually, get the #8 and you'll find that it is
too big for a small galoot, so then you get a #7, and if that is still too
big, go for a #6.  Before you know it you will be the caretaker of 2
collections.

Does this make you go twice as fast down the slope?
