I got six minutes into the first video before I realized they were not making super-thin skin for R/C airplanes or gliders....   :rolleyes:

When I went to school for Fine Woodworking, a part of the curriculum was to make several styles of functioning Hand Planes.  Lots of fun and then to actually use them professionally was just a treat.

For those that didn't do the conversion 16 microns is 0.00062992 of an inch.

 

5 microns is 0.00019685 of an inch.

 

For reference a typical sheet of paper is .004" and a typical human hair is .001"

 

That's impressive.
