I remember seeing William Cumpiano's planer which consisted of a well made chassis that held a bench plane upside down, under its bed. The plane was mounted askew (maybe 30 degrees) and produced superior jointed plates by passing book matched sets over the cutter a few times. I'd like to build one for myself.
