I can't make my mind up about it, it seem too cute to be useful, might be ok though for really small work.

How's the size compare to a #212 ?

This 212 image is off Patrick Leaches page

It looks similar size maybe the LV tool is a little smaller? :?

Looks like a very interesting design - cross between the 212 and the 85 scraper planes.

It'll be interesting to see UK prices. Wonder who'll get the UK version to "test"?????

Cheers

Looks a bit like one of my old slippers. That is until I upgraded to a pair of these beauties;

Looks good the plane that is.

Don't care how well it works, like the dovetail saw and new block planes, it won't find itself in my workshop ! :shock: :roll:

Cheers, Paul (the tradionalist, much to my own surprise :lol: )

That looks like a cracking tool (and you can never have too many scraper planes ). I like the idea of the adjustable rear handle - on a plane of that size, it's probably very helpful.

Cheers :wink:

I like it, I wonder if it's possible to make a scraper version of a chisel plane?
