Camber it about 1/32"... more than a smoother (1/64") but less than a scrub
(1/16") if you are using it to prepare rough stock. Less so (1/64") if you
are basically using it as a jointer/smoother...

I watched the videos and ending up buying a rabbit
plane off Ebay. I think it will come in really handy.
