Adam,

A very interesting survey which obviously involved a considerable amount of work for yourself. I do like your presentation of the result - excellent. Thanks.

Cheers,

Trev.

Interesting. Looks like I'd better get a couple of block planes and a No. 4 so I don't get laughed at by all the cool kids! :wink:

Nice job on the survey.

ok, that must be a sneaky anti-gloat...not only do we have to trawl back to find your entry, but we can't spot the additions! very subtle - all uber-gloaters take note!

Hi all

As a Newby on this Forum I shall bare my soul and admit that I have far, far more handplanes than I really need, and that the following are the ones I consider essential to my woodworking.

It is probably relevant to know that I mainly work in Australian hardwoods, such as Jarrah and Karri, and these benefit from high angled cutting angles.

Jointing planes:
#7 with Smootcut blade
HNT Gordon Try Plane (sorry, can't get away with just "try plane")

Panel-length planes
vintage (hah!) LA #62
LA 62-1/2
#5-1/2

Smoothing planes
LA Smoother (with 64 degree cutting angle)
HNT Gordon Smoother
#604 (with LN blade/chipbreaker)

Scrapers
vintage #112
#80

Scrub planes (I thickness everything by hand)
#40
ECE scrub

Small block planes
#65 (with Hock blade) LA set up
#18 (with 55 degree cutting angle - used as a mini smoother)
#102 bronze
#140

Plough planes
#044 (my current favourite)
#043
#46

Shoulder planes
#93
#92

Rabbet planes
#78
#79

Beading planes
#66
#45
homemade chamfer plane

Hi Derek
Well, you'll be in good company around here!! :wink:

 

[Chris Knight]

Derek,

Great list and picture. You will soon have enough tools to join the Philly club, meanwhile you can hang out here with the rest of us! :lol:

And that was how long ago, Derek...? :lol:

Tsk, the #043 missing out on favourite plough status? I'm shocked. Shocked I tell ya. :shock:

Cheers, Alf

 

[Derek Cohen (Perth Oz)]

Ahh Alf

That picture was taken about 12 or so months ago. The planes (and chisels - I really have a chisel problem - they have doubled since then!) just keep multiplying. I have a very understanding wife who just smiles sweetly when the next addition arrives, then goes off and buys another pair of shoes (Imelda Marcos eat your heart out!). I really should look into a 12-Step programme. I'd ask here for help, but -looking over the Lists that preceded mine - it seems as if I'd have a lot of company in therapy!

Regards from Perth

Derek

 

[ydb1md]

low angle non-adjustable (apron) block
#5 LA jack
#4 LA smoother
low angle adjustable block
#5 1/4 jack
#7 jointer

note: it's really hard to rank the order of use as they planes get almost equal use. now, if I could rank my favorite planes . . . 8)

 

[Adam]

Updated. For those who are still adding to the list, please do not mention the brand of plane, ONLY the type, e.g 4.5 smoother. If you have a unique plane this probably isn't the place to mention it - its an average of the common types.

Thanks!

Adam
