Very nice Mike, lovely plane, they sure do good work don't they!

Did you have a specific project you are going to break it in with or is on standby?

[DRAGON1]

Lol, I'm still on standby but new toys always get me thinking...

Right there with ya Mike, we'll find a use for it, even if we have to create a whole project around it!

I've had one for a while, and it's perfect for trimming screw plugs flush with the surface - just keep it razor sharp and use with a sweeping motion as you feed into the plug. Use a flush-cut saw to trim off most of the projection, and the plane will take the rest, no need for sanding either.

I'm mostly going to use it for cleaning out glue from corners. I use a sharp chisel for reading the grain on plugs then chiseling them off.
