Fine planer slices like that trigger some weird monkey brain reward pathway. I just wanna shave a board down to nothing to have all the plane ribbons.
I have a trash bag full. I can get you more if you want to jump into a pile like autumn leaves.
They make great kindling.
Yeah trying to give them away to someone who can use them
If you combost this would be a great thing to mix into the pile. Home compost tends to be nitrogen heavy and having a nice source of carbon will help the pile cook faster.
My little barrel is full unfortunately. I need to expand my capacity.
Get or make a spill plane. It produces these tightly curled yet long shavings that form kind of a little stick. They're intended to transfer fire from one place to another, like lighting candles, stoves etc. from an existing fire source, kind of like one of those long matches, but without the match head.
Oh neat, I'll check that out!
