Dennis, where do you get your sense of humor? I wouldn't want to do a Backyard Build from your backyard :o Jim, before reading this planer trick I had almost given up on the planer for lutherie because of snipe and the fact that most tonewood because of its cost and rarity (or in this case nail hole...

I must be missing something? Does one put a diode in the circuit? Hopefully this question is even clear enough Thanks Mike Z
