Hey Joe, what do you think of this planer, especially compared to your grizzly? It seems like the main difference is it’s only 15 Amps compared to the 20 Amps that you have. (do you have a 20 amp circuit for that by the way?) And it doesn’t have the helical cutter head. Any thoughts? https://www.lowes.com/collections/DEWALT-13-in-W-15-Amp-Benchtop-Planer-Mobile-Base/GR_9678

Trying to source Alaskan Yellow Cedar and they told me this.

Pretty excited about this one. Got a Sotol on Sotol hand drill coal today! (Dasylirion wheeleri) It’s not the first coal I’ve ever made, but it’s the first one I’ve gotten in quite a number of years, and the first time I’ve captured video proof that I can still do it, which felt really good. Huge credit to our buddy Alex for bringing the freshly harvested Arizona Sotol, coaching me while I was spinning, filming the video evidence, and for the tip of using pine pitch on the hands for grip, which was a total game changer. Also want to give a big thank you to Joe Lau and Phyre Dojo for the knowledge and inspiration behind practicing this skill. We carried the coal into a nest and blew it into flame shortly after (photo included).

Hey Joe! Do you have a recommendation for where to get rattan?
