Learned to run both the planner & the shaper while I was in the Navy. The planner was onboard the USS Gompers (a repair ship) and was a much newer open sided hydraulic version. It so happened it was right next to one of the main fore/aft passageways on the 2nd deck. I'd be making nice "little" 6's & 9's which went bouncing across the steel deck. More than one person came up to the watertight door giving access to the shop, saw what I was doing, turned around and went another way.
