Back when when I first saw one of these, woodworking for me was plywood and 2x4's. I was impressed, all I had used was a handheld circular saw. I like it just as much as I did back then. I might even use it. I'm sure y'all that buy handplanes  or whatever, when you already have too many, will get it.

Yes, that RAS  is a 1959 DeWalt 925, 3/4 hp. It's a good one. $50 from craigslist, maybe 10 years ago.
