The Right Plane for the Job
I live exactly 1.2 miles from Torontos downtown Lee Valley store and given that I call the place "my own little porn shop", I thought I knew everything there was to know about every plane, saw, nut, and drawer slider that this company offers. Wrong again.
When I first read Karis comment, I thought she was telling me about the new Veritas Skew Rabbet Plane and for the life of me, I couldnt figure out why she would think that plane would work for the application I needed it for. I have no idea why I thought that, no idea at all. This incorrect thought kept popping in and out of my head all day long until finally I sat down to investigate what she was talking about. Ahhhh. Now I get it.
What Kari was turning me on to - ok, let me rephrase that. What Kari was suggesting to me is the Veritas Small Plow Plane. Having checked it out, she is right, as it is exactly what I need. Working on small projects means working with thin stock, and this plane comes as a set with 5 blades; 1/8", 1/4", 3/16", 5/16" and 3/8", all for $279.00 CAN, including the plane.
This plane has now been added to my Lee Valley Wish List which, my wife was shocked to discover, now scrolls for two pages.
Thanks Kari.
Peace,
Mitchell
