Why so many planes?

[Alf]

PS it just took me 10 minutes to get those quotes to work properly .

I have bad news; you didn't quite make it. :wink:

Should be:

Not least because putting a spring in the joint is so much easier with a plane. Let me guess; what's that then? :wink:
Cheers, Alf

Alf, Alf, Alf, Alf. Of course I know about the spring :?

And there was I taking you for more of a bottled water kinda guy. :wink:

I started 3 years ago with woodworking with a Record #4 and a japanese smoother. That was a big mistake because since then I am looking for the perfekt plane and there is always a task which is looking for another type of a plane. I shouldn´t have read the reviews of ALF, so now a Veritas scraper-plane is on the way.
Here is one example of a plane I build

Here can you find some other planes

Rolf,

Thats a nice site, and some nice projects/tools/furniture you have made. I was intersted in your "plunge-bar" for your Festool, as I have the Mafell LO50E, which is the same tool, and you have given me some good ideas.
