Log V Planer

Yep it's just a bit of log, bit of log that I found probably six years ago now. You can see there's a flat bit where it used to grow against some kind of fence or something like that. Anyway I'm wondering, yes I've got a little thought in my head, what's it like inside? What's inside the log? So what I'd normally do is cut it open and see but let's do something different shall we? Because monocency kills the head I tell you, I tell thee, I tell thee. Anyway instead of just cutting with this just like a circular saw or something like that I'm going to use my thicknesser, my planer thicknesser. The first issue I have to solve is the fact that it's pretty round and what do round things like to do? They like to roll around and that's no good when I'm pushing it through the planer. It's got to be solid, flat, so all sides of it as I want them. So the first thing I'm going to do is mount this onto something that is flat and then we push the whole thing through the planer and we'll become clear. So so yeah way out of square at the minute, later. Ha ha ha ha ha, not square, ha ha ha. Not square one bit, ha ha. Obviously that's because of the piece of wood I put underneath when it was round, obviously because it was round wasn't lying flat so it goes in the machine not flat and it replicates on the other side. Not to worry, we'll sort that out. If you've just watched that and thought there's no reason why he needs to do that why is he doing that and you'll be absolutely right there is zero practical reason for doing this this is purely fooling my own nonsense and believe me I am full of it I am full of it I really enjoyed doing that just for the hell of it I had the thoughts in my head so I had to do it didn't I and I've ended up from that piece of log to piece of timber now what am I going to do with it that's not the point the point is I had a thought I did it I enjoyed it because if you don't do that what's the point in having thoughts
