I just pick up a power planer ; http://www.greatplanes.com/accys/gpmr4030.html I wasn't really expecting much, but this thing works like a charm. I'm building a CA Sloper right now, and it has a basswwood LE and ply sheeting. I was able to plan the LE right down to the sheeting, then had VERY little to hand sand.
