whats the best angle grinder wood planer/carver to ring in this new year with?

[anatine]

the arbomaster is great but so very $$, surely there must be a better option.

obviously want the blade version so i can use the shavings as tinder, this should be known.

why don't you just do a bunch of rip cuts with your chainsaw and make some noodles for your tinder and then you can get one of those jobbies with all the little spikes on it for your grinder

[Bobby Wong]

also, are you actually wanting to plane? because i don't think any of these things are good for planing. you should make a router sled if you want to fuck with planing some slabs.

this stumpy nubs guy just slashed the shit out of himself with one of those chainsaw wheels. he's a total soyboy, but he made a decent safety video

its a long story but i need to basically carve large pillow shapes.

[anatine]

ok maybe thats not a very long story.

tine so fat he needs load-bearing sofa cushions y'all

[anatine]

a stern pine perhaps

[Bobby Wong]

just make sure you're not using the old tables for southern yellow pine when you're doing your load calcs, you know obama downgraded that hillbilly shit in 2013 and reduced the allowable spans. i'd hate to see you get involved in some plus-size lovemaking and collapse the futon that you thought was rated for 800 pounds.

i feel like thats not entirely true tho
