That is a fine idea, but I find that a bit of extra “ballast” around the waist helps push the plane through the wood, so I try to eat a bit more when I am doing a lot of planing to compensate!
Things like chips, sweets, and especially chocolate are highly recommended.
Hi Luke,
Fortunately (or unfortunately) “Plane Away The Pounds” hasn’t had such radical results that my planing ballast has diminished to the point of impeding planing performance!
I have a similar workout regimen that I call “Sweatin’ to the Mouldies”.
Works great!
Very Punny!
and for a change of pace….wrap some little weights on your fingers when you play the dulcimer! In no time you will have trim & shapely fingers! Especially if you are playing Fishers Hornpipe at mach speed. Go Doug!
I like that. Finger weights! Gotta keep those fingers slim & trim!
