These Hob Lob bases make me wish for a planer. Then. too, I could have just covered it in sealer and gone forward from there. :bang head
 
How many cheap bases can you buy for the cost of a planer?
At Dollar Tree, these small ones are $1.25USD each:

These larger ones are $3USD each:

A mini wood planer from Lowes is $17USD: So about four large and four small bases from Dollar Tree (3x4=12)+(1.25x4=5)=17.

A nice Stanley is $34USD from Home Depot: So about eleven large bases with most of a small one! :smack:
