query:
A few years ago Norm made a nice basic stand with splayed legs. Does
anyone know what angles to use for the legs and stretchers when they are
to be splayed?

I didn't use plans when I made mine. I just used two pieces of
plywood for the sides, tied together with a "box" at the bottom (to hold
spare blades, etc.), and a piece of plywood on top - all glue fastening.
Very steady, no problems, planer is bolted down. However, I did make it
short enough to use while sitting - bad back and can't take standing
long using it. I never make stuff like that from plans.

JOAT
When in doubt, go to sleep.
