Neglected wood becomes speaker cabinet

but since I've cut my hand with a plane I think it it has become a "hand planer".

I still think that would be a "hand plane", since "wood plane" sounds better than "wood planer". A "wood planer" sounds like the power tool version in my mind...

The anguish languish is the cause of much suffering.

Hit the nail on the head


^that is just me not want to admit being wrong

Anyway, don't slice your hands with tools, though I do enjoy a nice red stain!

I don't know the word nerd terms, but I think the distinction is who's doing the work. If I use a plane, then I'm the planer, not the tool. If I stick a board in a machine and it does the planing for me, then it's the planer and I'm the planer operator.

I think in Dan's example the tool is a hand plane and he's a hand planer.
