Maybe Tim should get one of these to take care of all the off cuts and shavings.

Extraordinarily cool Allen... 8)

One worry though is that no one had muffs...maybe plugs, but unlikely because if your fronting up every day to do the job one usually ends up with a set of externals.

Now that is just so cool!

Actually at about 7:45 you can see that the guy catching the wood is wearing ear plugs.

Now when are the big box stores going to start carrying those?

Thank for that Allen, first time I have ever heard a thicknesser with a whistle, very cool indeed.
