Well I pulled the trigger on a LN shoulder plane. Two of my bench planes are LN, my No 4 and my No 8C Joiner. I love their quality and craftsmanship.

LOML let me activate a credit card for tool purchases and this is the first thing I jumped on. Oh yeah, the card has a reeeeally low limit, thanks goodness! I could get in trouble real quick otherwise!

The plane arrived two days ago and I haven't had a chance to pull it out of the box and put it to work. My chair that I am working on is ready for me to use it on.

I can say this, the plane is beautiful. I got the medium shoulder plane.

As some of you might recall I made a rabbet plane a couple weeks ago and while it turned out great, the results I wanted just weren't there. I investigated the Shop Fox Shoulder Plane, and found out I might need to drop that idea. By the way, thanks to all the folks that replied to that thread!

So here we are, I sprung for the LN Medium Shoulder Plane,

I look forward to giving you guys a tool review soon on this. Not this weekend though, my two oldest girls have their B-Day party tomorrow, and I need to help my youngest girl get her science fair project finished up. No time to play for dad!

I should have a review up by next weekend so stay tuned.

Thanks for reading

Cool tool John. Looking forward to your review.

This is exactly the next plane on my list.  I almost bought it at The Woodworking Shows a year ago but I was already spending quite a bit.  Regret not getting it.  Anxious to hear how you like it.  I already have a Lie Nielsen low-angle block plane and I use it way more often than I even thought I would.

 

That should do a great job for you John enjoy.

So John, how did you like the plane? bob

You called me on another promise Bob! I'll get a review out in the next few days.Thanks for keeping me in check.
