The first time I used a scrub plane was three years ago, in the
"Introduction to Hand Tool Woodworking" class from Roy Underhill at the
Woodwright's School. I was amazed at how much fun it was to use a scrub
plane! It's almost as though it's a completely different tool than any other
plane. I had a smile on my face for quite a while, and I knew I had to get
one (or two). (This was also when I used a Roubo frame saw and a froe for
the first time.)

OK, I like that idea.  Never thought about that.

The other nice thing about scrub planes and that narrow, right radius -
they're a blast to use.  Big, thick, crinkly chips and the sound is totally
different than a wider blade with a shallower radius.  Almost a zipper sound
rather than a whoosh.
