LV Shoulder Plane

>Now that we've had the conversation about the fact that an antique #93 is the shoulder plane to have, I can't find one on the web. So, I am going to buy the LV. I do want to know which one I should get, small/medium/large? I will continue to look for the #93, since you people have now given me OCD about it.

>Hi -
If you're still going after a #93 - go for the medium... it'll complement the #93 better...

>Hi Rob,
I just today recieved my LV medium shoulder plane, a quick honing on some stones and swish, I made nice shavings right away. I love the hole in the plane for my finger, that is very useful. It was on back order for a few weeks, but well worth the wait!
Take care,
Jim

>I'd recomend forgetting the new stanley. I bought a new one, about a year or two ago. Got it home to find rust on the blade, burrs on both the blade and body and a riduclous amount of backlash. Overall not even close to being worth the money. I returned it the next day and bought a Lie-Nielsen shoulder plane and it was flawless and worth every penny. I have no experience with the LV shoulder but do have thier scraping plane and spoke shaves. Exelent tools, you can't go wrong.

>rabbet plane.
What an extraordinary instrument.
I don't have the LV shoulder plane.
But with carefully rethinking materials and ergonomic factors, I'd have to say that the worst that'll happen is you won't go wrong with the LV iteration.
That's gotta be a pretty strong endorsement for their design & manufacturing processes....
