Mason Prentiss (1816-1881), was a gunsmith, machinist, and inventor in Washington County, New York. He patented his first vise in 1868. The Prentiss Vise was arguably the most popular vise ever produced, and continued in production into the 1950s. It is still popular and widely collected.

My great grandfather’s 18” jointer hand plane. I think it was made around 1910.
I flattened the sole — that took awhile.
I’m using it here with a shallow-angled jig holding two very thin panels for a guitar I built. The plane is being used to make the edges extremely flat so the panels can be glued edgewise.
The shallow-angle on the jig is so that the actual cutting point traverses the plane knife so that the edge dulls evenly.

Is demo of Grug Clojure code vibe. He no catch onto cloud LLM magics for some reason. Still prefer program with only brain-muscles. Prefer use Grug language standard library and standard dev tools. Prefer make and use all byte on local disk. Maybe luddite, maybe obsolete. Grug no mind. Fine with how he code. Besides, Grug like muscles. Hope maybe you see tip, trick, tactic to steal. Take what can use, no take what no can use.
