I was the yearly old woodworking machine gathering (Arnfest) this weekend, and found just the thing for Bob. Since we all know that Bob won't use a tool without a tail, here's his new hand plane:
This is essentially an aluminum bodied hand plane with a router mounted in the side. I'm not sure what cutters it uses, but yes, it's exactly what it looks like and apparently works.
More pictures from Arnfest 2015 in another thread, including a big tablesaw and a couple of Really Big Lathes.
