First of all thank you Matthew for offering this tool around. It's a very refreshing way for potential customers to get to grips with a new offering. On the perhaps pointless level of vanity I think the thing looks good. The finish is generally very high, they only issue I had was the sharp...

Good to know it got there glynee. Why not give a video a shot, it's quite easy these days. I did my early that are no longer listed on a smart phone. Nice to know I satisfy a wide demographic too :-) Mr_P yes that is the Stanley, comfort in use is it's strong point, quality of finish perhaps...

It went out first class signed for yesterday afternoon Glynne. Nice to hear you have some way of testing things I could not.

Thank you Mike, it's a shame I have a face for radio :lol:. That's a fair point on the sole flatness. It looked flat enough and it planed straight and true. I will confess I'm not a feeler gauge kind of person with my woodworking and anything I have to measure flatness would not be a good...

Thanks for sharing Richard, very interesting.

Yes, that's why I said "It seems to work very well for Marc and his approach".

"The Only Handplane You Need?". It seems to work very well for Marc and his approach. I don't have or need many but I need more than just one. I seemed to of migrated over to wooden planes. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Enjoying this a great deal Jimi, nice book choice too :-)

It's arrived this very moment and will be posted on again on Monday

Cheers, I must admit BB, I have fears of my "views" being torn asunder, never mind, I'll give it a go!

Just had confirmation that the plane will be with me tomorrow, all things being equal.

I'll echo Jimi, right up my street!
