Any chance to buy those planes somewhere else than HK or rutlands? In the catalogue they have much bigger range of planes than rutlands has (I was interested in longer ones) - I am not planning a visit to Hong Kong in near future but I would love to lay my hands on Mujingfangs. There was a guy...

My few pence... Parkside and Powercraft is nothing else than Einhell - only painted to customer's demand - in this case either blue o green. Once I was efter Lidl's air compressor and I phoned them up to get some information about specs. Nice lady said they just got delivery from Einhell in...

could you explain a little bit more?

I got myself first one (the smallest one from rutlands) just to try it and if I wouldn't like it 20 quid is not a disaster... But I love it... It's a wee rocket plane. Took me about an hour to get iron to desirable stage of sharpness and smoothness but oh boy what a joy!! it just glides through...

I just ordered smallest one from Rutlands (Hong Kong style) for tests. I will see myself how much they are worth. If I am happy to wok with it I will get few of them plus maybe Taiwanese style as well (I never have enough planes...) :wink:

well when it becomes a passion and hobby, method of finding some peace and 'quiet', some kind of relax (choose appropriate version) it's just a matter of time.

to be honest with you it made me thinking. I don't mind spending some time on plane tuning it up as I did with my stanley's. Till present I was avoiding wooden planes (for unexplainable reasons) but it made me thinking I might go for it. I don't also mind spending money on tools as I like to...

not too bad atm over 10deg on plus. So which will be better bevel up or low angle?

yeah true. journey would cost me one of those toys. I have to admit I like Veritas planes and I don't mind wether I got bubinga or cherry handle as long plane is fully working :-)

have you got any experience with Veritas bevel up planes?

right now I have standard nr 4 and 5 plus normal block and low angle block as well as shoulder plane and rebate. Recently I am working with burr oak and bur elm and some weird grain sycamore. Standard angle planes tend to struggle and do tear outs so I was looking for some solution to it. I got...

Hi everyone, I would need to get some advise. I was planning to buy some planes. I was wondering which planes are better (more functional) for work: bevel up's or low angle. I am thinking about getting jointer and nr 5 atm. Any advises more than welcome
