December 15, 20232 yr Popular Post I have and use one of those regularly. I have a couple of irons for it, one with a camber and one without. Between this and the adjustable mouth this is a really versatile plane. When I was first starting down the hand tool route, it was suggested that I start with this and a block plane, I have since added a vintage #4 to the mix as well as some specialty planes like a router plane and a shoulder plane. Over time I will likely add to this and get a dedicated shooting board plane, a #7 or #8, and something like a high angle smoothing plane just to make life a bit easier. A good scrub plane wouldn’t hurt either.
