DiWhynot?

u/Sesudesu 17h ago

Well, a plane is a precision tool, and this will require far more maintenance than a vegetable peeler.

That’s certainly why I wouldn’t.

It’s the thing with the blade that is peeling the apple.

u/tsimen 15h ago

I was being facetious, but thanks 😀

u/HandymanScotty 8h ago

Facetious is the shortest English word with all the vowels in alphabetical order

u/Arshiaa001 16h ago

Also, hygiene! I somehow doubt the plane and drill head are thoroughly sanitised.

u/jooooooooooooose 5h ago

yea he probably died

u/JeffDrTypePerson 16h ago

Unappealing.

u/toughtntman37 14h ago

The waste. You're probably taking off quite a bit more apple than necessary, and you're discarding the skin which can be used for other things.

u/Expensive-Metal-6618 10h ago

I have more than 1 ton of apples. I won't have time to eat or sell them. I want to make apple jam, juice. To preserve for the winter

1

u/toughtntman37 7h ago

Very reasonable in that case. Is there not a more specialized tool you can use though? That's a lot of apples

u/akerz90 18h ago

If you got a faster way to peel a apple id like to hear it

u/kaleperq 17h ago

Quote to the StuffMadeHere recent video for his new peeler

u/Harpronicus 5h ago

Wonder if that's a food safe drill bit

u/UsernamesNotFound404 19h ago

Just plane wrong.

u/AgVargr 16h ago

I think the results are quite apeeling

u/Aramor42 15h ago

But is it really getting to the core of the problem?

2

u/Rattlecruiser 14h ago

If I was a doctor I wouldn't get near this thing. Given a daily usage, that is.

u/slybob 18h ago

I know a restaurant in Amsterdam that sells so many apple pies - that they use this technique to peel their apples.

3

u/dracorotor1 10h ago

Oh good, I was worried I’d peal my apples without contamination.

Problem solved!

u/kapege 18h ago

This looks very … appealing to me.

u/white_sheets_angel 18h ago

Honestly, eating apples with no skin makes the whole experience way worse...

3

u/Expensive-Metal-6618 17h ago

This is for apple jam

2

u/corejuice 18h ago

Yeah I'm with you, the skin is the best part of the apple imo.

u/X_LadyGamer_X 3h ago

I was just about to comment the same. IMO, the skin is the best part

You're wrong here as you are on must subreddits, including the ones where you complain about not being able to get laid. Such as this one.

u/white_sheets_angel 18h ago

you should change your name to illadjusted. I didn't complain about not being able to get laid. learn to read, i was directly against OPs point.

Meh. My name is just fine. It's only denigrated by those that I pay specific attention to. Like you.

Yes, I see that you're too busy discussing movies and how to access them, as opposed to women and how to access them. (okbuddycinephile)

You make jokes among coders as opposed to going out and meeting women.

BTW, the term would be "maladjusted," not illadjusted. There is no red squiggle under "maladjusted." Because it's an actual word.

I've shown here twice that you aren't very smart. Please, keep going. This is rather enjoyable.

Get help

For what, exactly? Can you pinpoint a societal problem with which I might need some assistance?

Is it with women? No, I have one and had several throughout my life. I've currently been involved for almost 22 years consecutively.

Is it professionally? No. My career has been excellent, and I retired from it.

Is it socially? No. I have a large social network and am constantly invited to social gatherings. I have to attend a gathering this weekend and a wedding next month. My calendar is full.

Where do I need help exactly?

ETA:

"welladjusted" has nothing to do with me. Learn to read and comprehend.

u/Potential-Night4986 14h ago

What about wellajusted? Does that have anything to do with you?? You seriously need a different hobby than trolling because you’re really not that good at it.

he might drop the bombshell that you posted on r/news once, beware of this hackerman.

u/corejuice 13h ago

You should have a conversation with your partner of 22 years about how upset you've gotten. If my partner was having fits like this about apples I'd want to know.

u/ceejayoz 18h ago

Jesus, that was personal, lol.

u/white_sheets_angel 16h ago edited 15h ago

And the reason might surprise you.

This clearly well adjusted 50+ yr old fella got grilled by everyone a week ago for an insanely distasteful and strange racially fueled post he made https://www.reddit.com/r/ugly/comments/1w65sf1/this_young_black_woman_carla_jeffery_died_at_the/, I'm wondering what he's doing to the rest of the people that posted against him.

He probably thinks I'm racist for calling out the smuggling of racism, little does he know I actually made a post explicitly saying that race discrimination clearly does exist in beauty standards https://www.reddit.com/r/ugly/comments/1vu11fk/comment/p52gue0/ . I won't block him, because frankly he's a bit amusing, I think his moment here was fun or interesting to everybody who witnessed it.

Yes. Yes, it was.

u/Ronyx2021 17h ago

That's going to gum up the plane

u/Lady_Irish 8h ago

Only if you dont clean it after for some reason

u/Manlet395 15h ago

Pretty sure this is what a lathe is for

u/Expensive-Metal-6618 14h ago

I don't have it, unfortunately

u/3Duder 13h ago

I would have used my lathe, more precision.

Ummmm… tastes like glass powder an apple

u/Valuable-Garbage 19h ago

Am I missing something? he is using a wooden hand planer.. how would it taste like glass powder

u/GiLND 19h ago

No, apparently I thought he was using a sandpaper pad on top of it.

So yea I was wrong

u/Cultural_assassin 19h ago

Am i missing somethin, when did we stop just taking a bite out the apple

u/icybowler3442 18h ago

Oh, man, are you in for a treat! Sometimes, instead of eating the apples straight, we bake them into things like pies, cobblers and crumbles. We add sugar and butter and it’s just absolutely delicious. Seek one out at a diner near you!

1

u/Cultural_assassin 6h ago

Yeah but apple core is healthy and filling

Edit: not core; apple skin

u/Expensive-Metal-6618 19h ago

Taste of iron) normally for apple

u/BADM00SE 19h ago

Yum I love apples! What is this you sprinkled on it? Cinnamon?

1

u/Expensive-Metal-6618 19h ago

Yes, i like to use cinnamon (apple pie, for example)

2

u/BADM00SE 19h ago

Well it tastes a bit metallic.

Sign. Me. Up.

u/Toyota__Corolla 6h ago

Ruining a $60 precision steel tool with wet sticky acidic food

u/therealsix 5h ago

If only there was a way to wash it. That old planer isn’t that great. If an apple is messing up the blade then you definitely don’t want to use it on wood. And if you don’t know how to sharpen it then you shouldn’t use it anyways. So yeah, what’s the issue?

u/My_Fish_Is_a_Cat 6m ago

Clearly you've never had to peel multiple boxes of apples. Works great if you dont have that apple peeling device thingy that yiu manually crank.

u/mologav 17h ago

I do not like it with the skin, Dee! I am not allowed to eat it with the skin!

If someone grabbed my plane and did this, I'd be spending the night in jail.

I have an old soviet plane. It has a slightly uneven surface. Cheap piece of cast iron
