As an editor, you may appreciate
my edited version:

Our editor, Matt, from Connecticut,
Did not look down on the grooves that-he-cut,
His planes were handmade,
And with them he displayed,
His version of Fine Woodworking etiquette!

Oh no, I fell in the same trap as 470 before me.

Secondly, while planing groove; slip and remove section of skin shape that symbolizes religous or political motif of choice. And lastly beware the kickback its a doozey. Follow these easy steps and you too will enjoy the rewards of a job well done.

I mean, all the drawers I buy already come with grooves in them.' You can see my response in the photo. We stopped shooting and had a little chat about how camera's drawers got grooves in them too.
