Do you live next to a railroad, or any other source of heavy vibration?

Keep using the dowels - it can make alignment so accurate you no longer need to plane away problems - but mark an alignment "V" in chalk on the boards.

No matter where you go try using Tripadvisor (www.tripadvisor.com) to read hotel reviews in that area. You won't always agree with the review, but I've had consistently good results using Tripadvisor.

What's more important - your planer or your son?

I suggest you find other planing arrangements. If not, how will you feel when your son comes to associate you with things he hates?

I'm not Bill, but I'll give an answer to that question.

7mpg? Are we talking a semi-trailer?

Thanks for that, Neal ... but can you shed some light on the comments earlier in this thread about retired auto workers losing things like medical cover if their previous employer goes bust?

How do these pension plans work?

In Australia we have two levels of retirement funding. The first is a pension, funded and paid by the Federal government. It keeps you alive, just.

That's what I mean, Matt ... different perceptions of fuel efficiency. :)

Matt, there's a difference between how that table measures fuel efficiency, and the method used in the rest of the world.

That table appears to suggest that a fuel efficient vehicle is anything...

What is your definition of "fuel efficiency"?

In Australia we don't consider a vehicle to be fuel efficient until it gets well in excess of 26mpg (US gallons), and popular car sales are petrol...

I have no doubt you COULD build fuel efficient cars, but you won't ... because you're still too much in love with big, fat, wallowing, Sahara-thirsty dinosaurs.
