Split top is another thing I have no regrets on, and I think I stole that idea
from Mike Siemsen. I've had to tighten the deck screws on the base up a few
times, but it's still solid, even with no glued joints.

The planing stop location on mine is a minor regret. I wish I'd put it six
inches further downstream (and not wasted time installing one on the other
side).
